Topic: Mothers (05/02/05)
Mothers of the Universe,
God’s gift to humanity!
How you toil and labour
In the vineyards of hope,
Walking with the Redeemer
Under the banner of love,
Tenderness and goodness!
Throughout life’s vicissitudes,
Struggling in the vagaries
Of tribulations and hurt,
Anxiety, pain and sacrifice,
You triumph over adversity,
Armed with the sacred armour
Of faith and confidence in our Lord,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb!

Keith, this was a lovely poem, but unfortunately at just 68 words, it was way under the minimum word count allowance and so was out of the running - which was a shame. A lot of newer members miss the word count limits in the guidelines for the Challenge, so you aren't alone (there are always quite a few each week). The minimum is 150 words and the maximum is 750. Look forward to your next entry. With love, Deb (Challenge Coordinator)

Love the way you interwove faith with the nitty-gritty of a mother's life. Phrases like 'vineyards of hope' are full of wondeful layers. (and not just because I like a good red wine!) I think of The Battle Hymn of the Republic and see 'grapes of wrath' becoming 'vinyards of hope.'
