A Mother's Touch
There has to be some magic
In every mother's kiss
It drives away the sadness
And replaces it with bliss
It scares away the monsters
That lives beneath the bed
It calms our fears and nightmares
As she kisses us on our head
And when we get those boo-boos
She'll kiss the pain away
And when our heart is broken
Her kiss knows what to say
She saves a very special kiss
For when we say goodbye
Even tho it's filled with tears
As your mother starts to cry
Don't take her kisses for granted
For soon they will be gone
So keep her kisses within your heart
Cause that's where they all belong
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
