[From January, 2020] This poem is written to honor one of my daughters in Montana. She celebrates a birthday this week with her husband and three children. May God continue to fill her home with His blessings.

A mother’s heart fills the world with light
Born on a winter day, her life takes flight
Her loving and caring mother nurtures each day
Providing a Godly witness, with richness to say
God fills this young girl’s life with amazing gifts
Watching her exciting life mature, never adrift
God prepares a woman to be an attentive mother
Gathering life’s essentials, she is like none other
Christ walks at her side, creating genuine smiles
Feeling His presence, her life goes the extra mile
A young man catches her discerning eye with love
Unifying this couple, under blue skies from above
Their lives moving forward, with a balanced pace
Witnessing marriage and family, God as its base
This mother through it all, feels God waiting nearby
Striding ahead, her Lord’s Word glorifying the “why”
With each generation, a mother shares her light
Inspiring her children, to grow under God’s sight
