A Mothers' Worth
I had to sing a lullabyWhile the world slept peacefully,
To bring to mind the wakeful nights
That Mother spent with me.
I had to climb the stair at dusk
With sleepy children too,
To know how weary she was when
Her busy day was through.
I had to make decisions that
Brought many heavy sighs,
The way she disenchanted dreams
Of mine that were unwise.
No dearer Mother, I was sure,
Had ever graced the Earth,
But I had to be a Mother too,
To truly know her worth.

Hi Claire,
Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for commenting! :) Glad to know you like Charles Spurgeon as well. I love your blog...it looks beautiful. And I love your entries, too, it shows you're a dedicated Christian wife and mother. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem on A Mother's Worth. :)
May our wonderful God continue to bless you and your family with His wonderful grace!
Lovely to have you visit here,Jessica.Your blog title caught my eye,as I'm a direct descendant of John Bunyan, through my paternal Grandfather,and our family likes reading lots of "old stuff" too.
Blessings,
Claire
