A MOTHER'S LOVE

A mother's love...something special,
It's God-given, that's for sure!
Something that she gives us daily--
Something that will long endure!

Something present while we're sleeping;
Always there when we awake!
It's with us when we're far away--
Something, with us, we can take!

Something we sure take for granted;
Something we don't want to lose.
Something there each time we need it;
Something that we can't just choose!

It's something riches cannot buy;
Something we could not afford!
Something we can't have too much of;
Something we could never hoard!

Something that is kind and gentle;
Something that can be so strong!
Most often tempers punishment,
When finding out that we've done wrong!

Something that will always linger;
Something she left in my heart!
Mem'ries of my dear, sweet mother...
Twenty years since death did part!
