Every Mother's Son
Val Leah Clark/nee:Val Leah Betts 1951 (Calgary)
In this vast and changing world of generations
to come sings a song of prayer of love & peace
for for every Mothers Son that with wisdom &
strength shown to him he may carry on,
a song of joy a love of man and the true
meaning of peace! Joy for not knowing
prejudice, love for all that's free
peace for all this world and still my son
it is up to you for you will decide what
this world will be. For fathers and mothers
although we have tried can only make the
beginning, we must be careful not to lose
our way so that we can show you yours,
for all we have is the wisdom of ages past
when you have all yours to come, may
you erace all these bitter tears to make
a world for all mankind to believe in
Love & Joy & Peace for all mankind,
not just a world with only room for one;
it has to my son, be a world for everyone.
