A mothers love is like an island In lifes oceon vast and wide A peaceful quiet shelter From the restless rising tide A mothers love is like a fortress and we seek protection there When the waves of tribulation seem to drown us in dispair A mothers love is like a sanctuary Where our souls can find sweet rest from the struggle and the tension of life's fast and futile quest A mothers love is like a tower rising far above the crowd And her smile is like the sunshine Breaking through a threatening cloud For a mothers love is fashioned after Gods enduring love It is endless and unfailing Like the love of him above For god knew in his wisdom That he couldn't be everywhere So he put his little children In a mothers loving care.
