The Mother

To the son of some mother she may never have been a wife
But to a son and daughter she gave the gift of life
And she swears by her children and she sings their praises loud
And of their achievements she always feel proud.

The mother to her children is their greatest friend
For unconditional love on her they can depend
Far more than the love of a lover or a husband or wife
The love of a mother will last for a life.

To the mother her children are always number one
She will defend her daughter and she will defend her son
Even though they are in prison and serving time
She will say they are innocent of any crime.

The love of the mother the greatest love known
Her children she love them she'd never disown
She will stand by them in their moment of need
The love of the mother is a great love indeed.
