A mother's grade is not based
On the number of fights she foresaw and prevented.
It isn't calculated by the nutritional meals she makes
It isn't calculated by the nutritional meals she makes
Minus the fast-food restaurants she's driven through.
Nor is it affected by the number of plates left overnight in the sink,
Nor is it affected by the number of plates left overnight in the sink,
Or the appearance of the school projects that she helped complete.
It is not derived from her children's behavior in public
Or her children's behavior in private
Or her children's behavior after they've moved out.
A mother's grade is not decided
Or her children's behavior in private
Or her children's behavior after they've moved out.
A mother's grade is not decided
By the frequency of her prayers for her kids,
Or how often she teaches Biblical principles to them,
Or the modeling of good-Christian behavior in front of them.
Or how often she teaches Biblical principles to them,
Or the modeling of good-Christian behavior in front of them.
A mother's grade is not even based on her demonstrations of love:
The familial love, possessive love, or agape love.
At the end of each day,
The familial love, possessive love, or agape love.
At the end of each day,
A mother's grade is based
On the perfection of her
Savior
To whom she commits
To whom she commits
Her every feeble attempt,
To whom she believes
To whom she believes
Will redeem all her efforts,
To whom she entrusts
To whom she entrusts
With her children's well-being,
And whom she knows
And whom she knows
Will grade and deliver straight A's.
