You can only have one mother,Patient, kind and true;No other friend in all the worldWill be the same to you.When other friends forsake you,To mother you will return,For all her loving kindness,She asks nothing in return.· · ·

Verses for a Mother
Gone from our home that smiling face,The happy cheerful ways,The heart that won so many friendsIn bygone happy days.In dreams we see her smiling face,And kiss her tender brow,But in our aching hearts we know,We have no mother now.· · ·
We sat beside your bedside,Our hearts were crushed and sore;We did our duty to the end,’Til we could do no more.In tears we watched you sinking,We watched you fade away;And though our hearts were breaking,We knew you could not stay.· · ·
Softly in the morning,You heard a gentle call,You took the hand God offered you,And quietly left us all.The day you left us, mother,Our hearts just broke in two,The smallest part is still with us,And the biggest part with you.· · ·
We miss your smile, your joking ways,We miss the things you used to say,And when the old times we do recall,It’s then we miss you most of all.
