A Mothers Crown
Heaven lit up with a mighty presence,
as the Angels all looked down.
Today the Lord was placing the jewels
Into my motherโs crown.
He held up a golden crown,
as my darling mother looked on.
He said in His gentle voice,
โI will now explain each one.โ
โThe first gem,โ He said, โis a Ruby,
and itโs for endurance alone,
for all the nights you waited up
for your children to come home.โ
โFor all the nights by their bedside,
you stayed till the fever went down.
For nursing every little wound,
I add this ruby to your crown.โ
โAn emerald, Iโll place by the ruby,
for leading your child in the right way.
For teaching them the lessons,
That made them who they are today.โ
โFor always being right there,
through all lifeโs important events.
I give you a sapphire stone,
for the time and love you spent.โ
โFor untying the strings that held them,
when they grew up and left home.
I give you this one for courage.โ
Then the Lord added a garnet stone.
โIโll place a stone of amethyst,โ He said.
โFor all the times you spent on your knees,
when you asked if Iโd take care of your children,
and then for having faith in Me.โ
โI have a pearl for every little sacrifice
that you made without them knowing.
For all the times you went without,
to keep them happy, healthy and growing.โ
โAnd last of all I have a diamond,
the greatest one of all,
for sharing unconditional love
whether they were big or small.โ
โIt was your love that helped them grow
Feeling safe and happy and proud
A love so strong and pure
It could shift the darkest cloud.โ
After the Lord placed the last jewel in,
He said, โYour crown is now complete,
Youโve earned your place in Heaven
With your children at your feet.โ ๐ love and miss you mommy
