One who has been in my childhood
Ny solace in sorrows and fret.
One who has loved me endearing.
Has sacrificed more for my life,
And given me spirit and courage
To battle disaster and strife.
This is one who has tended me kindly.
Has gladdened the days OF my
And filled my soul with the honor
OF charity, virtue, and truth.
And she who has done all this for me,
The things which no other would do,
Is one whom l worship undying,
My Mother so dear and SO true.
