“THE BODY, THE BUILDING, THE BRIDE OF JESUS!”
It is quite common to describe our relationships through similes and metaphors.
A simile is a comparison using like or as. For instance, as we husband’s say to our wives every day: “I need you like a flower needs the rain.” A metaphor is a direct statement of comparison.
I came across a few that children have written for Mother’s Day.
- Emma: “Mom, you are the sunset, and I am the waves. You’re always watching over me each and every day.”
- Maya: “My Mom is a firework, bursting with elegant colours.”
- Nathen: “My Mom is a candle she lights up my world.”
- Hayden: “Mom, you are a star always shining even if I can’t see you.”
- Delaney: “Mom, you blow away my thunderstorms on a cloudy day.”
- Cassidy: “Mom, you are my sun, starting and ending my day.”
- Adeola: “My mother is a paintbrush, adding colour to the dullest of days.”
- Justin: “Mom, you are the rain that makes me blossom.”
