Thoughts On Mother's Day It seems to me, as I remember That she had none of the world's goods Then I remember she walked with us And talked about God's lovely woods Sometimes I thought our lives were hard With few rewards that we could see But Mother always found some way To show how simple joy could be "Happiness", she said, "is many things that make one great big life Lots of times we miss the joy and only think about the strife." Calmly going about each task Mother lived that simple creed I'm glad she taught me how to live Trusting God for each day's need.
