A PERFECT BENEDICTION
God took things like gentleness,
True selflessness and love,
And patience and devotion,
Then He blessed them from above.
He added love of nurturing
And other virtues, too,
Then he grouped them all together,
And still was not quite through.
He needed someone special
In whom He could depend,
To keep intact these attributes
Of such a perfect blend.
As He watched women cradling
Infants to their breast
He instilled within their hearts,
These things He deemed the best.
A perfect benediction,
One unlike no other –
Then satisfied, He smiled, and said,
“Let mankind call her, Mother.”
