Whose love can equal the love of a Mother,
Whose devotion is so loyal and true,
Who suffered so much with such joy for another,
Who works with such pleasure as Mother for you?
You hail with delight the freindship of others,
You revel in love of the sweetheart you've won,
Yet where do you find a friendship like Mother's
Unknown until death calls and life's work is done.
