My Mother

Who said “Good night”

When I was a child?

My mother.

Who dressed my dolls in clothes so gay

And showed me often how to play?

My mother.

Who ran to help me when I fell

And who could funny stories tell?

My mother.

Who sits at my head

When I am in bed?

My mother.

Who is so nice, who is so kind,

Another so dear you’ll never find?

My mother.
