11. It takes a mother’s love to make a house a home A place to be remembered – no matter where we roam.

14. It takes a mother’s patience to bring a child up right And her courage and cheerfulness to make a dark day bright.

17. It takes a mother’s wisdom to recognize our needs And to give us reassurance by her loving words and deeds.

20. And that is why, in all this world, there could not be another Who could fulfill God’s purpose as completely as our mother.
