If I could choose a Mother
Who might love me for all time,
She would cuddle, very soft
And be a special friend of mine
Her beauty would be very deep
Inside her loving heart,
To cherish time spent with me
Then care when we're apart.
She would bless me with my life
By such a loving birth,
Then everyday would pray for me
Knowing how it works.
Then when I'd have a worry
Listening quietly, then advising
She would always do so well.
For all that life would bring
Would become the things I do,
Her life an example of steadfast faith
That God will see us through.
Then when frailty of age might come
I could care for her,
To return some of the love she gave
I'd ask what she'd prefer.
So, if I could choose my Mother
Who would be the perfect one for me,
Then I would choose you alone
No other could more lovely be.
