So carefully she shows you
A mother teaches love
The joy of what she gives you
A blessing she's proud of

The joy that's shared together
The love that makes you see
All special things a mother does
Just comes so naturally

A heart of special beauty
A love within her soul
Mother's gift of what she gives
That makes her children whole

Teaching all the lessons
With smile upon her face
To show us greatest lesson
Her compliments retraced

These special gifts from Mother
Blessings that she gives
Grateful for the lessons
That taught me how to live

Praise to her in glory
The hand that held me close
Always will I honor her with
Heart of love that flows.
