My Mother
A total self commitment
Not fame nor fortune need
She gave herself completely
In thought, in word, in deed.
She never stopped to wonder
On blessings she might earn
But tried instead to teach me
And prayed that I might learn.
And now I'm older, wiser
I understand much more
And look with admiration
Her presence I adore.
Mother gave me everything
A debt I can't repay
So help me God to show her
My love in every way.
