A MOTHER’S MISSION
TERRY W MALONE
SOOTHING AN ANGER, WIPING A TEAR
KISSING A HURT, CALMING A FEAR,
CATCHING A NAP, FEEDING A SPOUSE
TYING A SHOE, CLEANING A HOUSE
FROM HER EARLIEST BEGINNINGS, TILL LATE IN HER YEARS
THROUGH HOURS OF HEARTACHES, THROUGH VALLEYS OF TEARS,
ALWAYS QUICK TO LOVE, EVER READY TO BLESS
BE SON OR DAUGHTER, NEITHER SHE CONSIDERS BETTER OR BEST
THIS ANGEL MOTHER, GOD SO LOVINGLY MADE
UPON HER SHOULDERS A WORLD OF CARES WAS LAID,
WHILE A HUSBAND LABORS FOR HIS DAILY BREAD
SELDOM IF EVER IS HER PATH EASILY TRED
SAINT OR SINNER IN ACTUALITY HE MAY BE
BUT THROUGH A MOTHER*S EYE SHE OFTEN SEES,
A PRESIDENT, A CONGRESSMAN, OR EVEN A SAINT
A WORLD OF TROUBLE SHE BEARS WITHOUT COMPLAINT
RIGHT OR WRONG BE THE PATHWAYS HE TROD
FOR SOME MOTHER HE*S STILL A CHILD OF GOD,
PRAYERS BY BEDSIDE AND LATE INTO THE NIGHT
PRAYERS THAT SOMEDAY HE*LL FIND THE RIGHT
BUT NOT ONLY TO SONS DOES HER LOVE SHE IMPART
DAUGHTERS TOO FIND A SPECIAL PLACE IN HER HEART,
REPUTATIONS BESMUDGED BY MYRIAD SINS
THROUGH THESE TROUBLES A MOTHER*S LOVE NEVER ENDS
ANGEL OF MERCY SHE*S OFTEN BEEN CALLED
AS DAUGHTERS OF EVE TO THIS POSITION INSTALLED,
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE SO COMMON TO ALL
WAITING AND WATCHING FOR HER CHERUBS TO CALL
BUT WHAT IS HER TRUE MISSION, HER ROLE IN THIS LIFE?
IS IT JUST BEING A MOTHER OR SOMEBODY*S WIFE?
GOD HAS REVEALED THROUGH PROPHETS OF OLD
THE BLESSINGS OF MOTHERHOOD, HER JOYS UNTOLD
SATAN, THE CUNNING MASTER OF DECEIT
HIS PURPOSE * THE MOTHER*S MISSION TO DEFEAT,
THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF ALL EARTHLY MEN
SATAN IS CONSTANTLY WORKING, TO TRAP SOULS IN SIN
NOW, AS TIME DRAWS TO A QUICKENING CLOSE
AS A PART OF SATAN*S MASTER PLAN * WE FIND HE HAS CHOSE,
HIS TIME AND HIS EFFORTS MORE READILY USED
TO ASSAIL MAN*S LAST ETERNAL SACRED REFUGE
FOR SO OFTEN TODAY, WE CONSTANTLY HEAR
THAT A MOTHER*S ROLE WILL SOON DISAPPEAR,
SOME WOMEN DESIRE WHAT THEY CALL EQUAL RIGHTS
AND GRASPING AT ILLUSIONS THEY READY THEIR FIGHTS
CHILDREN ARE BURDENS AND NOT BE HAD
IN THIS MODERN WOMAN*S LIBERATED PAD,
MOTHERHOOD IS ASSAILED AND LITTLE IS CLEAR
WHO*LL BE MINDING THE CHILDREN WHEN MOTHER*S NOT NEAR?
THANK GOD FOR MOTHERS WHOSE EYES NEVER GROW DIM
BLESSED ARE MOTHERS WHO DON*T FOLLOW EACH WHIM,
WHO SEE IN THEIR CHILDREN, GOD*S VERY ELECT
LIBERATION FROM THIS DUTY THEY*D NEVER SELECT
AS ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED TO BE
THEIR CO-EQUAL STATUS THEY COULD EASILY SEE,
FOR RAISING UP GOD*S CHILDREN WAS A MISSION SUBLIME
FROM EVE UNTIL NOW, THROUGH ALL TIME
SO * MOTHERS TAKE CHARGE AND READY WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT
FOR ONE OF SATAN*S LAST BATTLES WITH YOU HE WILL FIGHT,
FOR WITHOUT YOUR VISION AND STEADFAST FAITH
OUR HOMES, OUR FAMILIES, WILL NEVER BE SAFE
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU ETERNALLY IS MY PRAYER
THROUGH THE HELP OF ALL FATHERS AND THE PRIESTHOOD THEY BEAR,
PRAYER IS THAT HOMES BECOME REFUGES, AND ETERNALLY WE*LL FIND
THE MISSION OF MOTHERS WAS TO SAVE MANKIND!
