A Mother There

I yearn for Her connection

A chance to know Her face

Her gentleness and holiness

The warmth of Her embrace

I search for Her in longing

And find Her everywhere

For all the world reminds me:

I have a Mother there

A Mother there

I have a Mother there!

A Mother there

I have a Mother there!

I see Her in the colors

That dance on painted wings

In blooming hues that fill my view

When winter yeilds to spring

I hear Her in the songbird's

Melodic gifts to air

For all the world reminds me:

I have a Mother there

A Mother there

I have a Mother there!

A Mother there

I have a Mother there!

I smell in pink carnations

A hint of Her bouquet

And feel Her breeze give life to trees

On peaceful, summer days

I taste Her in the sweetness

Of autumn's golden pear

For all the world reminds me:

I have a Mother there

A Mother there

I have a Mother there!

A Mother there

I have a Mother there!

I see Her in the aging

In children as they grow

In hushing cries and lullabies

Yes, every gentle kindness helps me know

A Mother there

I have a Mother there!

A Mother there

I have a Mother there!

I sense Her in the silence

In moments I am still

She reaches back and teaches that

Her love is what I feel

Now brimming with this wisdom

I find Her everywhere

For all the world reminds me:

I have a Mother there

For all the world reminds me:

I have a Mother there
