A Mother Heart
The heart of a mother
derives from a Father:
the Abba, Daddy
loving God of heaven.
She absorbs love
leaning against His knee.
She drinks compassion
into her soul from the cup
offered by His hand.
She croons her suffering child
into her breast,
smooths his wayward cowlick
with her cheek,
kisses his tears
Her fears she whispers
to Her Father
in almost silent prayers,
knows He understands.
She shares each concern
with Him.
He gathers her tears
in crystal spheres
adorning His throne.
