Oh Mother Dearest...

Oh Mother Dearest

by Tessa Voccola

Oh my beloved Mother

How should I begin

To list the many things you do

And things you live without

All for my sake

Oh my Mother dearest

Oh how much you pay 

To let me do the things

That give me joy

And many trips

That leave me with the memories

Of time like honey sweet

Oh my Mother dearest

Oh how much time

You set aside

To take me here and there

To shows and trips

for church or school

Always gave up time for me

Oh my Mother dearest

I'll never forget how much you love

and how much you gave up

For me and others

And the Lord Jesus Christ

  And I love you so much

Oh my Mother dearest
