Why God Made Mothers
God made mothers to light the day,
Soft smiles to guide our way.
Gentle hands, firm yet kind,
Strength and grace combined.
In laughter and in soothing tears,
They calm our deepest fears.
Their wisdom, like a lighthouse beam,
Guides us across life’s stream.
They mend skinned knees with a kiss,
Teach us what true love is.
In every scold and bedtime tale,
Their love never fails.
Mothers, the earth’s tender seam,
Stitched with God’s own dream.
For in every mother’s eyes,
A slice of heaven lies.

Inspiration Behind
I pictured a world where every touch and every word from a mother instills a little more hope and joy. I thought about the way a mother’s simple acts, like mending a scrape or sharing a story, are actually profound expressions of love. It’s these everyday moments, so beautifully ordinary and yet divinely inspired, that I wanted to capture. Each line was crafted to reflect the warmth and light that mothers bring into our lives, just like rays of sunshine breaking through a cloudy day.
