MOTHER'S LOVE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: HER LOVE IS LIKE AN ISLAND
Last Line: I FIND A HAVEN THERE
Subject(s): MOTHERS;
Her love is like an island
In life's ocean, vast and wide,
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the wind, and rain, and tide.

'Tis bound on the north by Hope,
By Patience on the west,
By tender Counsel on the south,
And on the east by Rest.

Above it like a beacon light
Shine faith, and truth, and prayer;
And through the changing scenes of life,
I find a haven there.
