Mother's Day

I think I heard him say when he was struggling up the hill

I think I heard him say, take my mother home

Then I'll die easy, take my mother home

I'll die so easy, take my mother home

I think I heard him say, when they was raffling off his clothes

I think I heard him say, take my mother home

I think I heard him cry when they was nailing in the nails

I think I heard him cry, take my mother home

I'll die this death on Calvary, ain't gonna die no more

I'll die on Calvary, ain't gonna die no more

Ain't gonna die no more

I think I heard him say, when he was giving up the ghost

I think I heard him say, please, take my mother home

Please, take my mother home

Christ's love toward his earthly mother, is a wonderful example to each of us of the reverence that we should hold for our mothers. His concern for her was exhibited even in his deepest agony.

My mom passed on in 1986. Twenty years ago, and I remember my emotions in hearing the news as if it were today. No one loves you the way a mother does...no one. Life without her has lost it's shine. I didn't realize how many things I did just for her approval. She made me feel beautiful, and smart, graceful and athletic. I knew she loved me...There aren't too many people in my life that I can unequivocally say that about. She knew me...yet she loved me. What a wonderful gift.
