A Mother's Faith  

     Mom, there were many times when your faith carried me through the night.  I can still hear your voice encouraging me to trust God and never give up the fight.

     In you, there is a relentless spirit that believed in God with all its might, and your faith has taught me to do the same because I now see the light.

     You're the wheel in my life, which propels me forward whenever I'm struggling within; always reminding me that the crown of life will be rewarded to the faithful in the end.

     Somehow, you have always known what to say to give me a special lift, and I'm sure this was what God intended when He gave me as your gift.
