You held me when I cried

You bandaged all my cuts and scrapes

I know how hard you tried

You worked so hard to make a home

with little to be found

and life was hard with all us kids

you never let us down


As life went on and we all grew

and went our seperate ways

You were always our touch stone

a voice to fill our day


As time went on and life progressed

the tables surely turned

It sort of went the other way

a lesson we all learned


When you were sick we took your hand

We held you when you cried

We did our best ,oh mother dear

you know how hard we tried

We held your hand and kissed your lips

We gave you all our love

and then you passed,oh mother dear

and went to God above


We think of you dear every day

You know the tears we've cried

You know our feelings deep inside

a part of us has died,


I know you're watching us from up above

and want us to go on

You'll pull us through

as you've always done

and help us find the sun


When i was young you took my hand

you held me when I cried

for all of this I thank you mom

I know how hard you tried


I know that when our time comes

and our life on earth is done

you'll be there for us once again
