~ An Hour With You~
Mother was a rare pearl Even as a little girl Who was the apple of her father's eye. She was a rare jewel precious as a pearl. Mother's beauty was complete From an inner glow radiating to all she would meet, Quiet and unassuming like the soft translucent pearl. Her soft beauty of face Follow by kindness and quiet grace. Like the pearl which the oyster formed From the irritation of sand, just a grain Mother had her share of pain But by the grace of God's love within Her strength and beauty formed. Pearls of wisdom gained through the years Of joys and tears She passed along to those she knew To help them love and grow strong and true Following pearls of wisdom she shared. With a song in her heart She was happy and full of joy as each day began to start And with patience and love all the while She did her work with a smile Making a happy home for her husband and child. Mother was truly a pearl of great price For she was precious in God's sight And all who touched her life, Always humble and loving With hope of eternal life. I gave her a string of pearls, Luminous shimmers of pearly white, To wear around her neck For beauty through and through was she As she lived and great love gave to me. ©Jane Ward Smith April 15, 2005 E-mail
