All week she's been busy
Cleaning, dusting e> cry room.
Cooking cakes and pic; and pastries
While she hums her li:rle tune.
Never a thought for herself.
But of Dad and all the rest.
She has always said m\ children
Must have the very best.
What a picture thPre to gieet us
As we drive up to the farm
She stands sniiling in the doorway,
Waiting us with open arms.
Heaven bless you Mother, and
thank you
For a Christian home, you've been
so kind and tru“,
God protect you and K<-ep you
All the rest of votir life through.
