As I Remember Years Gone By,
I Recall A Certain Phrase,
For Very Often, Mom Would Say,
"Well, That's A Mother's Place".
It Was Her Place To Heal A Hurt,
With The Gentlest Kiss,
To Remind Us Of Forgotten Chores,
When We Had Been Remiss.
It Was Her Place To Cook Our Meals,
And Make Us Go To School,
To Make Us Mind Our Manners,
And Learn The Golden Rule.
It Was Her Place, Our Daddy Said,
To Brighten Up His World,
And So She Did But Still Had Time,
For All Her Boys And Girls.
Now There's A Corner Of My Heart,
The Biggest, Warmest, Space,
And None Shall Ever Claim That Part,
For That's My Mother's Place.
