IF NOT FOR MOM

MAY 4TH 2001
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

God must love me dearly,
To have given me A mother like you!
Looking back, I can see so clearly,
All of the trials you've helped me through!

With my every mistake, or wrongful deed,
you always seem to understand!
You have always been there in my hour of need ,
to give A loving , helping , hand !

You always gave your last, with love ,
In my lifetime I could not repay !
If not for your prayers to the lord above ,
I would not be alive to say!

Lord help me to begin, to show A love like you,
So I may show my children the same1
As all the midnight hours that she prayed through,
All the days she spent praising your name!

Before my children's troubles , become my sorrows,
I will get on my knees and pray!
Lord guide my children , today, and tomorrow,
So their children will know your loving Way!
