BELATED MOTHERS DAY RE-
MEMBRANCE.
Mothers Day shall be remembered
1t is Mary the mother of Christ
A boy child was born to her a
redeemer
For this he gave his life.
To all who would believe on him
Shall have eternal life
This was the child old Herold tried
to kill
He was known as Jesus Christ.
Mothers Day brings memories to
all
Ny mothers life lives in me
The background of my Mother to-
day
Has caused my soul to be free.
~
My Mother passed long years ago
Yet her training yet lives in me
She trained ME | must love the
Because the salvation of God is
free.
v
On Mothers Day we all should
honor it
Mother brought us into the world
There is no excuse for either one
Whether you are boy or girl.
vi
I thank the Lord for memories
today
Of dear Mother who has passed
She taught US all to Love the Lord
For someday your Mother will be
gone.
There isn't anyone as dear as a
Mother
Who birth us into this land
A Mother will stick by her children
When Father is less than man.
VIII
Sometimes a Mother will give her
child away
But a Mother will weep and cry
Lord help me to train my children
| know someday | have got to die
TX
A Mother hen will raise her brood
Some hens will leave their nest
And never hatch more than one OF
two
And that hen will always leave hel
nest.
A Mother will stick by her children
But a woman will give them away
Looking for some other man
To live another different way.
