Mother's day poem

Before mother's day I wrote a poem dedicated to all mothers. I know it's after mother's day but here it is. I think it's a good first entry for my creative writings.

A Mother’s Voice

The voice that lullabies sing,

The voice that comfort brings,

The voice that bedtime stories tell,

The voice of love it’s self.

It dictates a child’s first prayer,

And teaches what’s right and wrong,

The delight of children everywhere,

Is their mother’s voice.

As we grow and daily live,

We seek her voice to give,

Us guidance, counsel, wisdom, love,

And charity unfailing.

Mother’s voice gives this and more,

Every day of every year,

For protection from worldly things is found,

In a mother’s voice.

When home we leave we hear it still,

In hearts and minds it dwells,

We often ask ourselves this thing,

What would our mothers say?

So should I find it strange,

That when I now have a choice,

The angel on my shoulder speaks,

Using my mother’s sweet voice?
