It Takes A Mother

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 to 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.

It takes a mother's endless faith, her confidence and trust

To guide us through the pitfalls of selfishness and lust.

And that is why, in all this world, there couldn't be another

Who could fulfill God's purpose as completely as a mother.

Deep In My Heart

Happy little memories go flitting through my mind,

And in all my thoughts and memories I always seem to find,

The picture of your face dear, the memory of your touch,

And all the little things I've come to love so much.

You cannot go beyond my thoughts or leave my love behind,

Because I keep you in my heart and forever on my mind.

And though I may not tell you, I think you know it's true

That I find daily happiness in the very thought of you.
