A Mother's Love

She had no mother to love her
Mama died when she was five
And Daddy was so full of grief
One wonders how she survived

The Children's Aid came and took her
Placed her from home to home
Seemed like all this little girl did
Was continue to roam

One day she ran away
Decided to live on the street
No roof over her head
There was no food for her to eat

The time came and she married
But still no mother's love
Her mother-in-law didn't approve
She wasn't a blessing from above

Now you wouldn't think this poor girl
Would ever turn out to be
The very best mother in the world
Who always gave love to my siblings and me

She's a woman of great compassion
And of great strength too
A woman of high moral character
She'd do anything to help me or you

I only wish everyone in the world could be
As blessed as we have been
To have a mother who loves us so much
Who is mother...and my best friend

Love you Mom...you're the best!
