I didnt know today was mother's day till it was announced from the pulpit of my Church today. There was special prayer for our mother dears. They were also presented with small presents. One elderly Church elder rendered a song in his well modulated quivering voice on My Mother's Prayer. It was wonderful and very touching to listen him sing in his effortless and rich voice. After the service, I went to him to collect a copy of lyric of the song. I am reproducing his song below.
My Mother's Prayer
I never can forget the day,
I heard my mother kindly say;
"You are leaving my tender care;
Remember child,your mother's prayer."
Ch:- When-e'er I think of her so dear,
I feel as if she still were here;
A voice comes floating on the air,
Reminding of mother's prayer.
I never can forget the voice;
That always made my heart rejoice;
Tho' I have wander'd God knows where,
Still I remember mother's prayer.
Tho'years have gone, I cant forget,
Those words of love, I hear them yet;
I see her by the old arm-chair,
My mother dear, in humble prayer.
I never can forget the hour,
I felt the saviour's cleansing power;
My sin and guilt were cancell'd there;
T was there He answere'd mother's prayer.
Ch:- O praise the Lord for saving grace!
We'will meet up yonder, face to face,
The home above together share,
In answer to my mother's prayer.

Listening him sing live was better than Lyric itself. Anyway, I decided to share with you all this song on Mother's Day.
