"Mothers" 
By Bob Schieffer

What's to say about Moms that hasn't been said before? 
Here's just a couple of things, maybe three or four. 

When you were just a little one, 
Who was it that taught you a song? 
And even more important, 
The difference tween right and wrong? 

When others turned against you, 
Who was always there? 
Who always took your side 
No matter when or where 

If you're like me it was Mom. 

Who kept the family going 
Whether times were good or not? 
Who always could remember 
The things that we forgot 

Birthdays, homework deadlines 
a hundred things or more 
And on school days, wide awake or not 
got you up and out the door. 

If you're like me it was Mom. 

Who told you were were just as good 
As any rich man's son? 
So don't go look for some excuse 
Not to do what you want done. 

You've known movers and shakers 
Some may even know you. 
But in the final accounting, 
Who taught you most that's true? 

If you're like me it was Mom.
