A Mother's Wisdom
Make sure you wear clean underwear
In case you're in a wreck
The mother's wisdom I'll list here
Is truly just a speck
Don't forget to brush your teeth
And never tell a lie
If you make that face it'll stay that way
But we never asked her why
Wear a coat when you go outside
Or you'll catch your death of cold
We heard these things everyday
Til the time that we grow old
It's just like time to repeat itself
Her wisdom is here to stay
For my wife still says these precious words
To our children everyday
