For My Mother

Through all the long years of my life

I’ve lived within your love,

And I knew you were on my side

When push came down to shove.

When I was small and scrapped my knee,

You kissed my tears away.

You taught me that a loving heart

Grows stronger every day.

You set me on the path I walk,

You taught me how to live.

From you I learned hard work’s value,

And how to share and give.

Now, though the path is over grown

With bramble, weed and thorn,

I know you love me just as much

As the day I was born.

I love you with a grateful heart,

For all you mean to me.

You are my mother, I’m your child,

And that will always be.

Proverbs 31:15
She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.
