Mother

Dear Mother
Stand watch over me
Guard me
As I am not long into this life

Dear Child
My precious pride
My joy
I will guard as you sleep

Dear Mother
Be always there
I need you so much
My support in my helplessness

Dear Child
For all my life
In health or sickness
I shall be there at your call

Dear Mother
I thank you for your help
But I am grown now
I have no need of you

Dear Child
I have watched you grow
You are a woman now
But I am still here

Dear Mother
You are old now, frail
Call me
I am here for you

Dear Child
I need you so much
My support in my helplessness
I am not long for this life

Dear Mother
I shall watch over you
My beloved one
I shall always remember you
