A mother's love's a blessing

"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you,
I could walk in my garden forever."

A mother's love's a blessing
No matter where you roam
Keep her while she's living
You'll miss her when she's gone.

Love her as in childhood
Though feeble, old and gray
For you'll never miss a mother's love
Till she's buried beneath the clay.

And as the years go onwards
I'll settle down in life
And choose a nice young colleen
And take her for my wife.

And as the babes grow older
And climb around my knee
I'll teach them the very same lesson
That my mother taught to me.

A mother's love's a blessing
No matter where you roam
Keep her while she's living
You'll miss her when she's gone.

Love her as in childhood
Though feeble, old and gray
For you'll never miss a mother's love
Till she's buried beneath the clay.
