Mother

Many years will come and go as children cling to you
Out of need for love and nurture, hours your own are few
Trusting Him to give you all the wisdom, faith and strength
Heaven knows your job will stretch your patience to it's length
Expect Him to reward your task as you take them to His throne
Realizing that results you see will come when they are grown.
