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.
