A mother's love is something that no one can explain—It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain. It is endless and unselfish and enduring, come what may, for nothing can destroy it or take that love away. Whether it's the spiritual foundation mothers lay for our lives or the joyful moments shared together, these precious gifts reveal that the love between a mother and child is eternal, and acclaimed poet Helen Steiner Rice captured these sentiments in this beautiful book of verse. These touching tributes, paired with the moving paintings of award-winning artist Jim Daly, remind us that no matter how far we roam or how much time elapses, the memories of our mother's love and encouragement will be a brightly shining beacon that illuminates our lives.
