When God Made My Mother

When God made my mother . . .

He said, “She will be different from the start,

For I will give her a piece of My heart.

She will need to be tender, but also tough

So, I will make her of the very best stuff.”

When God made my mother . . .

He poured in love everywhere it would fit

So when it comes to her family, she won’t quit.

Where her love ends, no one can really know,

‘Cause it follows her kids wherever they go.

When God made my mother . . .

He added patience seeing her trials would be long,

‘Cause to raise three kids you’d have to be strong.

She would be there from the very first kick

And stay beside your bed when you were sick.

When God made my mother . . .

He must have dumped in talent by the bunches,

'Cause she did it all, even packed our lunches.

She’s a doctor, a teacher, a cook, and so much more.

My mom can do the work of ten men plus four.

When God made my mother . . .

He set a day and hour when she would believe,

That Jesus was a Savior she needed to receive.

I am so glad that when I went astray,

I had a mom that knew how to pray.

When God made my mother . . .

He made the best there could ever be,

‘Cause He made her just for me.

I could have been born here or there,

But I’m glad He made us a pair.
