The Compassionate Mother

Mother’s Love by Laurie Snow Hein

“Beat upon mine, little heart,

beat, beat!

Beat upon mine!

You are mine, my sweet!”

English Poet Alfred Lord Tennyson.

Today we honor the compassionate mother. A mother cares for her child with her whole being. She feels their sorrows and their joys on an intimate level - cheek upon cheek, beat upon beat. It is a mother who understands the significance of God counting our every tear and knows it takes no effort to do so. it is instinctual. For a mother’s love goes beyond affection, it is a deep heart connection.
