We’ve been blessed with the love of a Mother
Who unbelievably turns eighty this year!
In your eyes there persists a bright twinkle,
Your quick wit remains sharp and clear.
You brighten our days with the sound of your voice,
You bring so much laughter and love,
You’re the best Mother ever, and God must have smiled,
When He sent you from Heaven above.
We’ve been blessed with the love of a Mother
Whose loving goes on without end;
We wouldn’t have wished for another;
You’re our Mother, but more–You’re our friend.
