Our father in heaven
whose love is divine,
thanks for the love
of a mother like mine
and in your great mercy
look down from above
and grant this dear mother
the gift of your love
and all through the year
what ever betide her
assure her each day
that you are beside her
and, Father in heaven
show me the way
to lighten her tasks
and brighten her day
and bless her dear heart
with the insight to see
that her love means more
than the world to me.
