MOTHER'S WAY, by ANONYMOUS

Subject(s): Mothers
First Line: Whenever I am bad all day
Last Line: That's why I'm glad for mother's way
Subject(s): Mothers
WHENEVER I am bad all day
Until I'm really 'shamed to pray,
I wait till mother comes to say
"Good night, dear child." That's mother's way.
And then, somehow, I don't know why,
I tell her everything and cry.
She hugs me then, and right away
I feel less sad. That's mother's way.
And mother kneels down by my bed
And pulls my face close to her head,
And we both snuggle down and pray,
That's why I'm glad for mother's way.
