The Poetry of Ann Margetson

Kindly loving mothers, we think of you today,
Think of all your goodness, things you do and say,
Guiding gently onward up to heaven above,
Led by inspiration and God’s pure love.

Refrain
Mothers are like light from heaven showing us the way
We will try to love them forever and a day

Your eyes reflect God’s goodness, shows us tender care,
Your hands are hands of giving, always being there,
No task is beneath you, mother kind and true,
You show God’s presence, in all you say and do.

Refrain

Mothers never leave us, we may stay behind,
But they wait in heaven, there sweet joy to find
Waiting with the patience known to them world wide,
Could there be a heaven if she were not by your side?

Refrain

No, for a mothers loving is part of Fathers plan,
Families together for the good of man.
Mothers help it happen, show the better way
To progress though life and so in heaven stay.

Refrain
