My Beloved Mother

I can hear my mother's voice

Her perfume still fills the air

I can recall her pretty face

With her lovely auburn hair

Mother knew the bible well

She read to me each day

She instilled in me great faith

As she taught me how to pray

I still remember songs that

She taught me in my youth

I learned the blessings of giving

And the importance of honesty and truth

Now that I am grown

With children of my own

I will pass along these treasures

With such a grateful heart

For even though my mother is gone now

We are never far apart.
