Mother's Wishes

-1-

Blessed is he who tries to do
what his Mother wants him to

On her knees once she held you
clothed you fed you till you grew


-2-

To be a man through and through
you must respect both old and new

Now you owe her what is due
the foot is in the other shoe


-3-

By your first steps full well you knew
your Mother's wishes went with you

From birth to death you know it's true
she only wants what's best for you


-4-

So blessed is he who tries to do
what his Mother wants him to

And woe betide the ones who choose
their own way for they're bound to lose


-5-

A man may be a Father too
and do just what he wants to do

But blessed is he who tries to do
what his Mother wants him to
