It takes a mother's love
to make a house a home,
A place to be remembered,
no matter where we roam.
It takes a mother's patience
to bring a child up right,
And her courage and her cheerfulness
to make a dark day bright.
It takes a mother's thoughtfulness
to mend the heart's deep hurts,
And her skill and her endurance
to mend little socks and shirts.
It takes a mother's kindness
to forgive us when we err,
To sympathize in trouble
and bow her head in prayer.
It takes a mother's wisdom
to recognize our needs
And to give us reassurance
by her loving words and deeds.
