Analysis of A Mother's Wisdom

Angela Lorine Smith

Mother you live so vigorously
You are so strong to me
You accomplish so many things
And taught so many people
Young and old, how to live right

Your life is an example of how
A virtuous woman should be
God has smile at you
And bless you with
So many things

And one thing he bless you with
I am so proud to say:
Your wisdom He gave to you.
Kept us from living in a life of sin

Mother I love you, sweet mother
God gave you wisdom
Wisdom to know wrong from right
Wisdom to treat other right
Wisdom to live victoriously

Oh mother, God bless you with so
many things, but one thing I am proud to say
He bless you with wisdom
Wisdom on how to live your life
Wisdom on how to know when to fight
and wisdom just to know when to believe.
