Motherly Parent

Imperfect Praise

On Mother’s Day, let us celebrate and give

thanks for our Motherly Heavenly Parent

as we honor our Moms, created, with

our Dads, in Godde’s Divine image

Our Mothers, who in imperfection bore us

nurtured, led and sometimes punished 

reflecting the Presence of their own

Maker, Creator of all in perfection 

So today I give thanks for my Mom whose

life unwrapped for me the unconditional 

love of my Beloved Heavenly Parent 

My Eternal FatherMother Godde

MotherFather, ONE. Not two as mortal parents

are designed to be. Not separate. Not bound

by bones and sinew. Our Godde is Spirit

free to be everywhere, all in all at once

I wonder. In speaking of Godde as only a Father

have we transferred our human understanding

of one parent to our concept of the Holy ONE?

Has man created Godde in the image of man? 

Since birth I learned to see Godde’s love by knowing

the love of my dear Dad. Our language for Godde

was Our Heavenly Father. Mom reflected Godde

too, although unsung. We were not taught to see

Our Mother in the Face of Godde
