Happy Mother's Day!!

Mother Dearest
Mother, mother, my favorite teacher
My inspiration, my silent preacher
Because of you, I’m an Eagle Scout
A return missionary, a Mormon devout

You fought hard to bring me to this life
And kept me here, e’en though I brought you strife
deeply regret the pain that I caused
I hope that you know how sorry I was

I love you, dear mother
You’re a gift from above
For me, there’s no other
You grace me with love
