Mothers Are Special People

Mothers are special people In a million different ways,

And merit loving compliments And many words of praise,

For a mother’s aspiration Is for her family’s success,

To make the family proud of her And bring them happiness . . .

And like our heavenly Father,

She’s a patient, loving guide,

Someone we can count on To be always on our side.
