Without Mother’s Advice…
By: Maxine M
Our first parents lived in a paradise of ease
Their original days were without toil, doing as they pleased
Enjoying God's garden of bountiful fruit trees
There was nothing to fear...all the animals were tame
As they came one-by-one for Adam to name
The perfect marriage...there was no one else to blame
The ideal life, but one thing they both never knew
Was the loving touch of a Mother, as NOT from childhood they grew
Of that special bond from child to Mother, they had no clue
A Mother hadn't warned, "Don't talk to that snake"
"He's not what he seems, he's a phony and a fake"
"If you listen to him, it will bring sorrow and heartache"
So Eve raised her children without Mother's advice
Labor pains and discomfort were disobedience's price
A Mother certainly would have made her think twice
When the question "Why do it this way?" came around
She couldn't reply, "It's a family tradition handed down"
No Grandma to babysit for a night on the town
She had to decide for herself when a baby could eat "mush" on it's own
When could they safely handle that chicken bone
Put baby on stomach or back; to which position was she prone?
No Mother to run home to if they had a big fight
He couldn't know those "monthly moods" were a woman's right
Or say, "MY MOM's fig cakes were always airy and light"
What was his answer when asked "Do these fig leaves make me look fat?"
Now the rest of mankind had Mothers, thank God for that!
And even when they are gone, we miss that daily chat
If time with your Mother was short here on Earth
Don't let that fact undermine her worth
One thing is for certain, she was there at your birth
Or perhaps you were blest to have her many years
With fond memories of how she soothed childhood fears
Sat by your sick bed, dried foolish tears
For Adam and Eve never experienced a Mother's gentle caressing
After much thought and consideration, THIS we are stressing
All Mothers, young or old, present or past, are "God's Special Blessing"
So Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers everywhere
For the traditions and advice they were so willing to share
Her love and self-sacrifice, physical, emotional, spiritual care
