My Mother Tells Me

My mother tells me, If timely treasures are taken away, don't forget to watch and pray. If green grasses are turning to hay, don't forget to watch and pray. My mother tells me, If fresh flowers start fading away, don't forget to watch and pray. If crimson clouds steal your day, don't forget to watch and pray. My mother tells me, If in tough times you lose your way, don't forget to watch and pray. If on rough roads you seem to sway, don't forget to watch and pray. My mother tells me, If in dark days you drown in dismay, don't forget to watch and pray. If in sweet seasons you go astray, don't forget to watch and pray. My mother tell me, If in your quest there seems no way, don't forget to watch and pray. If in your best, reward is kept at bay don't forget to watch and pray.
