It takes a Mother's Patience, to bring a child up right, And her Courage and her Cheerfulness to make a dark day bright.

The comfort and sweetness of peace.

In everything both great and small, We see the Hand of God in all.

A mother's love is a sanctuary, Where our soul can find sweet rest, From the struggle and the tension, Of life's fast and futile quest.

A mother's love is like an island, In life's ocean vast and wide, A peaceful, quiet shelter, From the restless, rising tide.

A mother's love is like a beacon, Burning bright with Faith and Prayer, And through the changing scenes of life, We can find a haven there.

And when the home is filled with love you'll always find God spoken of
