Endearing Love
by Kristine Stanton © 2026A mother's love is en-dear-ing
and cannot be denied.
It's through her eyes you see such love —
a love she cannot hide.
And as she holds her little one
she rocks him in her arms,
with promises to keep him safe
and not let him be harmed.
It's in a soft and tender voice
she hums a melody.
It soothes and calms her tiny babe,
who then becomes sleepy.
His eyes begin to slowly close
as he drifts off to rest.
She places kisses on his head —
this baby at her breast.
And as her infant soundly sleeps
she thanks her God, the LORD,
for blessing her with this sweet life—
a cherished gift adored.
