MOTHER

Mother taught me my

First words

As she held me near her

Heart.

She taught me how to

Laugh and sing,

And always try to do

My part.

She didn't care for fancy

Things,

But filled our home with

Love.

She gave us peace and hope

And joy,

And faith in God above.

She wasn't much for

Laziness,

"Up now!" "Rise and shine!"

Always teaching us

New things,

On waste, she drew the line.

She loved

The beauty of the flowers,

And wonders of the sky.

She shared

The magic of the birds,

And where they nest, and why.

Mother, Grandma,

Special Aunt,

That's how she is known.

I will always love her

Because

She is my own.

Proverbs 31:28a Her children arise up and call her blessed. (KJV)
