God created Mothers;

For He knew there had to be;

A very "Special Person";

Who could guide a family.

He gave them warmth and tenderness;

And lots of love to share;

He taught them how to listen;

And showed them how to care.

He sent them here to guide us;

From the moment of our birth;

God's "Very Best Creation";

Was my Mom here on earth.
