God knew there would be mothers
to hear each infant's cry,
To pat away the little tears
that fill a baby's eye...
|
God knew there would be mothers
to hear a child's first word,
To listen with attention
when a child's voice must be heard...
|
God knew that each and every child
needs someone close each day
To help them out, to cheer them up
at home, at school, at play-
To teach them how to share this world
with sisters and with brothers-
And so in His great wisdom,
God created mothers.
