“Children are a blessing and a gift from the LORD.” Psalm 127:3 (CEV)

A Mother’s Refrain

There is no song so beautiful
No tune as pure and sweet.
A rhythm written lovingly
Echos her heart beat for beat.

It’s sung when they are tiny
Rewritten as they grow.
The lines are full of hopes and dreams
And love that overflows.

The verse not often spoken
But plays softly in her soul.
Composed of failure and success
A chorus of life made whole.

She lifts her voice in thanksgiving
When she sees all they have done.
And sings of them as always
Though they’re thirty-five and thirty-one.

This melody so enduring
Tells her stories of joy and pain.
Truly the greatest hymn ever written
None other than a Mother’s Refrain.
