My Mother

My mother with love so good and true

Just like an angel was sent down from the blue

Could I but carry the burdens away

For my mother today

Through words of anger still she’ll befriend

Instead of envy she’ll give give again

When day is ended a soft voice you’ll hear

Dear God forgive us is my mother’s prayer

My mother as pure as precious gold

Fresh in my memory she’ll never grow old

Down at the crossroads to show me the way

Is my mother each day

When she looks back at the life that I’ve lived

If I have faltered she always forgives

I ask in silence of One Most Sublime

May all be blessed with a mother like mine
