A Mother’s Way Is Love
A mother’s way is warm
And gentle is her touch,
With just a hug she says,
“I love you very much”
A mother’s way is kind,
Ever giving of herself,
Her days are filled with riches,
Her children are her wealth.
A mother’s way is wise,
Her counsel from above
The dearest gift God gives
Is that of mother’s love.
