Mother’s Love
A Mother’s love is something that no one can explain,

It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,
And it

And since we work hard and live so affluently as part of the American Empire, when prices rise or we lose our jobs or another company makes a “run for the border” or gas prices hit $3.00 a gallon, most of us don’t consider God. He may be a peripheral idea. Out here on the edges of consciousness but
