MOTHER’S SONG

THEY SAY HER WORK IS NEVER DONE

IT CAN’T BE EASY FOR THE ONE

WHO’S ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT WHERE YOU WENT TO FIND___ HER

WITH BUSY HANDS AND WATCHFUL EYE

MAKING SURE AS TIME GOES BY

YOU’RE NEVER FAR_ FROM THE HEART_ OF MO-___ THER

YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED TILL SHE’S GONE

THE ONE YOU FIRST DEPENDED ON

WHO TAUGHT YOU TO GROW UP AND DO WITHOUT HER

AND YET FOR ALL YOU’VE GROWN YOU KNOW

SHE’LL NEVER TRULY LET YOU GO

YOU’RE NEVER FAR FROM THE HEART OF MOTHER

COMFORTS FROM HER QUILTING BOX ARE ALL___ AROUND YOU

SEWN TOGETHER, MADE TO COVER AND___ SURROUND YOU

HOLDING FAST THE PROMISE THAT SHE TUCKED INTO THE STITCHES

WHILE SHE WAS TURNING THE RAGS___ TO RICHES

THERE’LL ALWAYS BE A PLACE FOR YOU

A PERFECT ROOM TO COME BACK TO

AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBER TO LOOK FOR HER

WHERE HEARTH AND HOME FIRES GLOW

WHERE PATCHWORK QUILTS AND GARDENS GROW

WHERE CHILDREN ALL EVENTUALLY DISCOVER

YOU’RE NEVER FAR FROM THE HEART OF MOTHER
