Mother Taught Me

Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother

Mother Taught Me

Mother taught me, say thank you, say please;

Say excuse me, when I  cough or sneeze.

To cover my mouth, don't let the germs out;

Help others with joy, without a pout.

She taught me to say sorry when I am wrong;

Told us, kids, not to fight, to get along.

When it's time to work roll up your sleeves:

And that, Jesus, saves, when people believe.

Mother taught me, to be grateful and kind;

Know that most- clouds of life are golden lined.

To pick up my clothes, be sure to wipe my nose;

And to be sure to wash between my toes.

 Mother taught me, to love our family;

She taught me while I sat on her knee.

Stand up for what is right, to love our country;

And that money never grows on the trees.

Mother taught me, to plant a flower seed;

and to wait for it to grow, patiently.

She sat beside me, playing paper dolls;

Before I went into surgery.

My mother has taught me many more things;

So many, that they could never be told.

She has made me laugh, she has made me cry;

My love for mother will never grow old.

My mother is still teaching me each day;

She's teaching me by how brave she stays.

That she can still smile and think of others;

Though sick, is still busy being, mother.

Mother taught me to be brave and how to pray;

Hands together, to say, "Lord help me."

I thank the Lord for my  precious mother;

She will always be beautiful to me.
