As boys do play out in the rain br And never mind the wet br Their mother's worry of the chance br The colds that they might get br br As little girls pose before the mirror br And plan their future days br Their mother's wonder of the chance br That she'll be happy, in all ways br br Sometimes we do forget br That mother's prayers have been said br To protect us on our way, and yet br We do feel safe when in her bed br br A mother's love is best of all br Stronger than the rest br She watches and awaits our call br Her devotion oft, put to the test br br Never wavering, never gone br Always there where it belongs br On our side when lines are drawn br Always there to right our wrongs br br A mother's love, above the rest br Her devotion oft, put to the testbr br J.B.
