Your Mother

Have you ever stopped to wonder
What it was like to be your Mother?
Be assured that if you ponder
You will find there was no other.

She at first held you so gently
Be it morning, noon or night.
She did bathe and clothe you sweetly
She did comfort you alright.

She was always there to help you
Tied the shoes and wiped the nose.
Helped with homework and did feed you,
Cleaned your room and washed your clothes.

It was Mother who first taught thee
How to kneel down and to pray.
She did teach, “Now I lay me
Down to sleep – my soul I pray.”

Mother wondered where her child was
When the evening hour grew late.
Not a little bit of praying cause
She listened for the gate.

As the years began to pass on
And Mom was getting older,
Did you learn that she was genuine
By the way – you must have told her

Today’s the day we honor her
“Mom, there was no one like you,
You were sweet and you were kind
And we say, Mom – we loved you.”
