God's Precious Gift (Tri-fall)

Distance pushes apart
each one end
still we maintain a strong friendship,
your love sits in my heart
cares and mends
nurturing this relationship

Thoughts search for the right words
to praise you
but none seem to fit your measure
when life's vision is blurred,
easing coos
replaces a path of pleasure

Special all through the year
strict yet kind
to take your place there's no other,
aged voice wipes unseen tears
woes it finds
God's most precious gift, my mother
