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.
