A Mother's Gentle Whispers
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In the quiet of each dawn, a miracle unveils,
A mother's gentle whispers, her tender touch prevails.
Her arms that cradle dreams and hearts, both fragile and strong,
Her voice that sings lullabies to heal the world's wrongs.
With every scar she carries, etched on her soul with grace,
She sacrifices freely, in love's encompassing embrace.
For she knows no bounds or limits to what she can endure,
Motherhood, a symphony of talents pure and secure.

Challenges of Motherhood
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In motherhood's path, some days feel long,
With tears and trials that test the strong.

Faithful Steps of a Mother
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Through sleepless nights and daily care,
A mother whispers quiet prayer.
With hands so worn, yet filled with grace,
She finds her strength in God’s embrace.
When answers seem so far away,
She leans on faith to guide her day.
For every tear, for every test,
She trusts the Lord to do the rest.
Her love is deep, her path not small,
But with God's help, she stands so tall.
A mother’s faith, her guiding light,
Leads her with courage through each night.

Looking Back With Love
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
The hands that once tied my little shoes,
Now move with age, with gentle views.
The voice that sang me soft goodnights,
Still echoes truth, still shines with light.
I see her now, with silvered hair,
A life of love, a heart of care.
She gave her all, both strong and kind,
With patient soul and thoughtful mind.
Though years have passed and time has flown,
Her quiet strength I’ve always known.
And now I say with grateful heart,
Her love still holds, though miles apart.
