HOW STRONG DOES A MOTHER HAVE TO BE

How strong does a mother have to be?
She must be…
Strong enough to carry a life and push it into the world…
Strong enough to accept a child in need and love it like her own…
Strong enough to hear the faintest cries, no matter the hour, night or day,
and she must be smart enough to trust God and let him have His way.
How strong does a mother have to be?
She must be…
Strong enough to stay up late and rise before the break of day…
Strong enough to listen, dry tears, lift a heavy heart and kiss the pain away…
Strong enough to discipline, and mean what she says…
and she must be smart enough to trust God and let him have His way.
How strong does a mother have to be?
She must be…
Strong enough to forgive, and smile, when hurt comes her way…
Strong enough to raise the children and watch them move away.
Strong enough to tell them when they need to change their ways…
and she must be smart enough to trust God and let Him have His way!
She must be …
Strong enough to stand, and no matter what stand strong!
Strong enough to believe in God when the world says she is wrong!
Strong enough to cry, when she has to say the final goodbye
Strong enough to hold on to hope for a better day….
Strong enough to stay up and pray all night and day
and be smart enough to trust God and let Him have his way!
