A Mother's Song-Daniel Kirkley

Tying little shoe laces Wiping off dirty faces Are just a couple of things That a mother will do... Mending a broken heart Is only just a part Of the care and the love That I've given you... With a Kool-aid smile And a sparkle in your eyes I wrap you in my arms And whisper this advice... Be strong, be kind Be patient and in time You'll find out, my son What true love is all about Be faithful and be true Show love in all you do Then you'll know, just how You make your mother proud Now, little boy days have passed And you've grown up so fast But in my heart That little boy will never be far... So on this blessed day There's so much I want to say But above all, I thank God For the man that you are... With a tender smile And a twinkle in your eyes I wrap you in my arms And whisper this advice... Be strong, be kind Be patient and in time You'll find out, my son What true love is all about Be faithful and be true Show love in all you do Then you'll know, just how You make your mother proud You've made your mother so proud...
