Heaven lit up
with His mighty
presence,
As all the
Angels looked
down,
Today the Lord
was placing the
jewels,
In all the
mother’s crowns.
As He held up a
golden crown,
As all the
mother’s looked
on,
He said in His
gentle voice,
I just want to
explain each
stone.
He held the
first gem in His
hand
But the
radiance
couldn’t match
His own.
For He was the
light of Heaven,
Reflecting off
each of the
stones.
The first gem,
He said, is an
emerald,
And it’s for
endurance alone,
For all the
nights you
waited up,
For your
children to come
home,
For all the
nights by their
bedside,
You stayed
till the fever
went down,
For nursing
every little
wound,
I add this
emerald to your
crown.
A ruby, I’ll
place by the
emerald,
For leading
your child in
the right way,
For if you
hadn’t taught
them about me,
They wouldn’t
be here with you
today.
For always being
right there,
Thru all
life's important
events,
I give you a
sapphire stone,
For the time
and love you
spent.
For untying the
strings that
held them,
When they grew
up and left
home,
I give you
this one for
courage,
Then the Lord
added an
amethyst stone.
I’ll place a
stone of garnet,
He said,
For all the
times you spent
on your knees,
When you asked
me to take care
of your
children,
And them for
having faith in
me.
I have a pearl
for every little
sacrifice,
That you made
without them
knowing,
For all the
times you went
without,
To keep them
happy, healthy,
and growing.
And last of all
I have a
diamond,
The greatest
of all gems,
For those
mother’s who
lost their
children,
When they came
home to heaven
before them.
This is the most
precious
sacrifice,
So I give the
most precious
stone,
For I know
just how you
felt,
I too lost a
child of my own.
After the Lord
placed the last
jewel in,
He said,
Heaven is now
complete,
For every
mother has her
crown of jewels,
And all her
children are at
her feet.
