Ode To Mandy: A Mother’s Day Poem
When first you became a mother,
Your life changed; you changed,
You lost sleep, you lost strength, yet amid it all you gained power.
Unselfishness blossomed,
You left your life behind,
Oh, Elizabeth Darling: how you look like your mother!
When you next became a mother,
You were an expert,
Your fears had subsided, your strength emerged through weakness.
Your hands were full,
Work never ceased,
Oh, Jacob Zachary: how you make your mother beam!
The third time, some say,
Is a charm, and you agree,
You charged and did what you never thought you could.
Severely outnumbered,
You manage a heavy load,
Oh, Luke Carter: how you complete your mommy!
Thank you Mandy,
You are an example,
You provide meaning and purpose to three young lives.
You look well to the needs
of the household,
And you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
I love you.
“Many women have done excellently,
But you surpass them all.” Proverbs 31:29
What a great great poem. Mandy will just love this
Good job, Zac.
Happy Mother’s Day to my favorite daughterinlaw!
I love you, honey.
Simply beautiful….Happy Mother’s Day to a VERY missed friend.

This is one of the most beautiful, well-done pieces of word art I’ve ever read. God answers Mother’s prayers, and YOU are one of those answers for this mom. I really enjoy what you “lay downâ€

I think this is one of the most wonderful things I ever heard Mandy receive and it makes me feel good to know that there will always be a man in her life that loves and cares for her. Zac, I think you are a wonderful husband and father.
