A Mother¹s Love Is A Haven In The Storm Of Life
A mother¹s love is like an island
In life¹s ocean vast and wide,
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the restless, rising tide.
A mother¹s love is like a fortress
And we seek protection there
When the waves of tribulation
Seem to drown us in despair.
A mother¹s love is a sanctuary
Where our souls can find sweet rest
From the struggle and the tension
Of life¹s fast and futile quest.
A mother¹s love is like a tower
Rising far above the crowd,
And her smile is like the sunshine
Breaking through a threatening cloud.
A mother¹s love is like a beacon
Burning bright with faith and prayer,
And through the changing scenes of life
We can find a haven there.
For a mother¹s love is fashioned
After God¹s enduring love,
It is endless and unfailing
Like the love of Him above.
For God knew in His great wisdom
That he couldn¹t be everywhere,
So He put His little children
In a loving mother¹s care.

A Mother¹s Love Is A Haven In The Storm Of Life
anyway here is another one, also by Helen Steiner Rice
A mothers day prayer
Our Father in heaven
whose love is divine,
Thanks for the love
of a mother like mine-
And in Thy great mercy
look down from above
And grant this dear mother
the gift of Your love-
And all through the year,
whatever betide her,
Assure her each day
that You are beside her-
And, Father in heaven,
show me the way
To lighten her tasks
and brighten her day,
And bless her dear heart
with the insight to see
That her love means more
than the world to me.
