A Wonderful Thing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being a mother is a wonderful thing,
My bedside alarm, it never need ring,
I'm awakened each day with bright cheerful faces,
And soon 'round the table they've all taken places.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our meal is seasoned with plenty of chatter,
The fruit and the muffins fly from the platter, (AMEN)
There are stories to share and a Bible verse too,
We reverently pray-it's not always a zoo!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day is so full of a number of things;
First chores, then schoolwork, then song practicings,
Cooking and cleaning and book-reading too,
A mom of wee children has plenty to do!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've heard busy times end as quick as they start,
So I'll treasure these days, store them up in my heart,
Small children grow up-the time goes so fast,
The business of mothering soon will be past.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be cheerful and thankful each day that you've got,
Greater joy anywhere, there surely is not!
As you work through your duties may God hear you sing,
'Cause being a mother is a wonderful thing!
