Mother’s Day
Criss F Rosenlof 1969 (Utah)
I’ve said it many times before,
you prob’ly know then, what’s in store.
You are the very best, it’s true;
No other mom’s as good as you!
You’ve raised three children, raised ‘em good;
They’ve turned out like you hoped they would.
I know there’s still time left to go,
and we don’t know how they’ll grow;
But knowing how you’ve done so far,
I know how high you’ve raised the bar!
All in all, I mean to say,
please have a happy Mother’s Day!
