Hats and lace and lilac scents
All sweet things life represents
Mother's heart that's always there
Blessings in this life we share

Gentleness within the dawn
Calming kiss within each morn
These the days that fill my soul
To make me feel so very whole

All the things in life you gave
Every moment I have saved
Joy within a Mother's love
Words in life that I speak of

Gathered in life memories
The hand of mother's treasuries
Soft her touch upon my face
These the things I now embrace

Gentleness with love to share
Mother's heart is always there
Wrapped with love and frilly things
Gift of life a "Mother's Wings"

Ones that soar so very high
Upon the earth or in the sky
Gives you love with so much ease
Carried on the softest breeze.
