Mothers Are So Dear

Lyrics to song by Dawn Kallevig

She taught me love when I was but a child

She knew me with her eyes

And comforted my cries

My homemade gifts were better than the store

She made me feel so proud

So glad she was around

Lord, thank you for mothers

Mothers are so dear

Mothers are so dear

And her children will rise up and call her blessed

For all the love she's shown throughout their lives

As I grow older, Mother stays the same

The memories make me smile

Her life makes mine worthwhile

And though I'm grown, I'll always be her child

While grateful for the others

I thank God most for mothers

Lord, thank you for mothers

Mothers are so dear

Mothers are so dear
