"Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore. From the
rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be
praised. He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of
children. Praise the Lord."
--The Bible, Psalm 113:2-3, 9
INSPIRATIONAL POEM FOR MOTHERS
Blessing on the hand of women!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place;
Would that never storms assailed it,
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Blessings on the hand of women!
Fathers, sons, and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky--
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
Rainbows evermore are hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
--William Ross Wallace, American poet (1819-1881)
