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 test<br /><br />J.B.
