Tribute to a Christian Mother
I applaud your performance, I stand in awe;
On life’s great stage, you were the greatest performer of all.
As the drama of life unfolded, you played your part to perfection;
And when the final curtain falls, mankind will give you a standing ovation.
On this world’s great stage of pretend;
No Emmy, no Oscar, did you win.
But when the eternal rewards are assigned;
Dear Mother, you will be at the head of the line.
I recall the nights when I was sick;
All night beside my bed you would sit.
And when I was young and going astray;
Only you Dear Mother, refused to turn away.
You were never paid millions for the role you played;
Though your role covered each hour of the day.
This World salutes you, Mother, teacher, friend;
For fulfilling your role daily, through to life’s end.
Yes, I applaud your performance, I stand in awe;
On life’s great stage, you were the greatest performer of all.
And as the drama of life unfolded, you played your part to perfection;
And when the final curtain falls, Dear Mother, mankind will give you a standing ovation.
