“Blessed”
I am so very blessed
I know I must confess
When God gave me a mother
He gave me the very best
She hasn’t had an easy life
But always been a loving mother and wife
Always caring, always sharing
Often all our troubles bearing
I didn’t know then, but now I do
Sacrifices made, some things let go
So that my brothers and I, as we grew
Were so loved, that much we knew
She would come home from work
Dead on her feet
But she always made sure
We had something to eat
It wasn’t always fancy, but always was plenty
We never left the table
With our stomachs empty
She took care of our dad
When he felt so bad
She gave him the comfort no one else could
She was by his side till the end
We knew that she would
She’s been so much more than a mother to me
A friend, a confidante, always true
And always when I’m feeling blue
She has the words to say
A hug to give and she’ll always pray
To our Lord each and every day
So now you know why I must confess
When God gave me a mother
He gave me the best
(Dedicated to my loving mother by Sandra Owsley)
