Mother of All Mothers
An original poem by Sister Karen Buco
Mary, known as the greatest Mother of all though uncertain, said “yes” to God’s call.
Chosen by God to be the Mother of his Son, said to the angel Gabriel, “God’s will be done.”
Not knowing a man, she said, “How can this be?” Conceived by the Spirit, God’s son is born in me.
For nine months Mary waited for the child’s birth, then God’s son took flesh and came to this earth.
Mary nurtured him with love; and in grace, and in age, and in wisdom, he grew,
Guiding him and always protecting him, as only a Mother’s true love can do.
Mary, a symbol of Motherhood, totally gave her all,
an example for all Mothers as they answer their call.
Planting seeds of faith, hope and love that will grow
in lives they nurture, reaping God’s life as they sow.
A Mother’s love like Mary’s will endure now and for the endless ages past.
For it is a burning heartfelt love that will never die, but will forever last.
