With Whom Do You Spend Mother's Day?

With whom do you share Mother's Day

With a mother who is here

Or a mother now in Heaven 

Whom to your heart is dear  

With whom do you share Mother’s Day 

With children of your own 

Or with those who through your presence 

A mother’s heart have known 

With whom do you share Mothers Day

Adoptive and birth mothers too

Stepmoms, mentors, aunts, 

Grandmothers, just to name a few

With whom do you share Mother’s Day 

With a child who writes or phones

Or with a child in Heaven 

Who awaits your coming home 

With whom do you share Mother’s Day

Those living their best day yet 

Or with those who know the heartache 

Of a longing not yet met 

With whom do you share Mother’s Day

And what reminds you of

The gifts so strong and tender

Wrapped up in a mother’s love

May God meet us on Mother’s Day 

In both our joy and sorrow

With in-the-moment gratitude 

And hope for bright tomorrow 

Here joys mix with sorrows

But the best is yet to be

Earthly love, a foretaste of

God‘s love for His family
