Mom
There's magic in a mother's touch
and sunshine in her smile,
There's love in everything she does
to make our lives worthwhile.
We find both hope and courage
just by looking in her eyes,
Her laughter is a source of joy;
her words are warm and wise.
There's kindness and compassion
to be found in her embrace
And we see the light of heaven
Shining from "our" mother's face.
