Mother

Her once soft skin
Is now wrinkled with age
Her long dark hair
Has long since turned gray

The fire in her eyes
No longer burns as bright
She’s slowly losing her hearing
And losing her sight

But the love in her heart
Still grows more each day
For all of her children
From Robert to Ray

She has gave us her wisdom
She has gave us her love
She taught us to believe
There’s a god up above

So when you lay down your head
And Meet god in prayer
Thank him for all mothers
And there loving care.
