Gifted and granted to each one of us
We focus our love and admiration
Today we honor her and the lofty goal
She possesses God’s greatest station

Selflessly she trades her life
So that we may each obtain
Everything we want or need
And she pays the price with pain

Longing after the best for us
Her desires are put on hold
She tempers every disappointment
And warms us in the cold

I gained much more than friend and wife
Committing my life to hers
For she raises my children every day
And gives hers life for theirs

Encore

Quietly she whispers that she loves each one of us
In every breath she takes each day
Reflecting on the gifts she gives
Her love is something wondrous

She watches every step we take
In concern and fiercest contemplation
For she seeks to save us from harm and wrong
As we navigate each station

Her time is not her own you see
She gives it to each one of us
Keeping her words and tears at bay
Until we need her support and loving trust

Then she covers our cheek and fills our ears
With soothing evocation
Standing near in case we need
Her strength and admiration

These words can only describe one person
And in compare there is no other
The lady described in detail you see
Is my children’s God gifted mother
