MOTHER’S DAY— 1970
God took the fragrance of a flower. . . The majesty of a tree . . . The gentlenes of morning dew . . . Thecalm ofa quietsea ... The soul of a starry night. . . The laughter of a rippling bro k . . . The grace of a bird in flight . . . The love in a lover's look . . . The tender care of an angel. . . The faith of a mustard seed . . . The patience of eternity . . . The depth of a family’s need . . . Then God fashioned from these things A creation like no other, Andwhen His masterpiece wasthrough He called it simply— MOTHER. — Midwest Bible Church, Chicago, II. CALLED ! Caled to be a Mother, Called! to be a nursemaid, With al that work entails, Cooking meals and scrubbing floors, And washing diaper pails? Called! to be a helpmeet, With all that task requires, Of mending socks and ironing shirts, Respecting his desires? This calling is too great, I’d hoped for something less, Like sitting in an office chair Withoutthis toil and mess. Then I’d hireanother one To care for al these chores. But, You caled me to noble work And closed al other doors. You chosefor me the very best There is no greater one, Than rearingchildren for the Lord And serving Your Dear Son. Called to be a Mother, Nursemaid and helpmeet too. Oh, may Thy name be glorified, In everythingI do. Withall thatword implies, Wiping noses, kissing hurts, And dryingtear-stained eyes?
