“A Tribute to Mother”
Bless the dear mothers everywhere, mothers aren’t mothers unless they care,
Thank God for a dad who chose my mother, she was the best and farest from others.
On this special day set apart, she will be the queen of my heart,
On my lapel, a red rose I will wear, showing the world how much I care.
Before the day is done, we will say one by one,
We love her, home wouldn’t be home without mother.
To you who have a mother here, cherish and love her, she is dear.
To you whose mother has gone above, wear a white rose with memories of love.
