MOTHER
When I’m tired and need to rest,
You hold me close with my head on your breast
When I’m ill and the pain is too much to bear,
You nurse me and show me that you care.
When I’m lonely and sad,
You hug me and that makes me glad
When I need a shoulder on which to cry,
You reach out and I know on you I can rely.
When I need to talk and I have a problem to share,
You are my friend and I know you’re always there.
When I need guidance and direction,
You give advice and necessary correction.
When I’m feeling down I just look at your face,
You just smile and light up the place.
It’s Jesus I see in you, mother,
And I love you like no other.
Not only for all you do,
But also because you’re you.
