Someone at work gave this to me and I wanted to share it with all of you. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have...
Only One Mother
We can only have one mother,
Patient, kind, and true.
No other friend in all this world
Will be so true to you;
For all her loving kindness
She asks nothing in return;
If all the world deserts you
To other you can turn.
Many tears you’ve caused her
When you were sad or ill,
Maybe many sleepless nights,
Though grown, you cause her still.
So every time you leave her,
Or when’er you come or go,
Give her a kind word and a kiss,
‘Tis what she craves, I know.
We can only have one mother,
None else can take her place;
You can’t tell how you’ll need her
Till you miss her loving face.
Be careful how you answer her,
Choose every word you say,
Remember, she’s your mother
Now and every day.
We can only have one mother,
Oh, take her to your heart;
You cannot tell how soon the time
When you and she must part.
Let her know you love her dearly,
Cheer and comfort her each day,
You can never get another,
When she has passed away.
