Gentleness & Strength
She is always there to listen,
and to lend a helping hand.
Anytime we feel we need her-
she helps us understand.
You know the one I speak of-
Only one can fill her shoes...
Our mother, she's the greatest!
Her strength won't let us lose.
She teaches us the way to go,
and guides us gently on our own;
And she never turns her love away
even when we do things wrong.
The kind and loving way she has,
of showing us what's right-
reminds me of a butterfly,
when it alights and then takes flight...
Her words will touch you gently,
but there's strength in every one/
Enough to rise above it all,
when things would come undone.
and to lend a helping hand.
Anytime we feel we need her-
she helps us understand.
You know the one I speak of-
Only one can fill her shoes...
Our mother, she's the greatest!
Her strength won't let us lose.
She teaches us the way to go,
and guides us gently on our own;
And she never turns her love away
even when we do things wrong.
The kind and loving way she has,
of showing us what's right-
reminds me of a butterfly,
when it alights and then takes flight...
Her words will touch you gently,
but there's strength in every one/
Enough to rise above it all,
when things would come undone.
