"Mother! Mother! How we loved you with your hair of snowy white. Your prayers were ever with us when we lay down at night. Mother! Mother! How we loved you for you made our pathway bright. We won't forget that loving touch, those arms around us tight. A smile so sweet and tender like a glimpse of heavenly light."
