Mother Hen

Mother Hen You rise each morning with the sun's first light, A teacher pouring love into minds shining bright. Our three sons are grown now, with wings of their own, Some far across oceans, yet never alone. Your heart stretches wide across the miles and the sea, Still caring and guiding, wherever they may be. Chorus Oh, mother hen, with your wings opened wide, You gather the hurting and hold them inside. For our three sons, and the grandbabies too, That sweet little girl and that precious boy who Fill your world with wonder and joy every day You adore them completely in your own special way. Unselfish and caring, with a love that won’t end, We thank God for you, our family’s best friend. We love you, we need you, more than words can say, Happy Mother’s Day, in every single way. Verse 2 You don’t just mother the ones that we raised, You open your arms to the lost and the dazed. Your sister-in-law’s daughters still feel your embrace, And your dear friend’s children you help find their place. Every soul in need that comes over your path, You welcome with kindness and warm, gentle love. Wanting peace for all, seeing good in each one, A lovely pure heart like the light of the sun. Bridge We don’t say it enough, but we see what you do, The quiet strength that carries us through. Even when days are long and the miles feel wide, Your love keeps us close—no matter the tide. Final Chorus / Prayer May God walk beside you each step of the way, Give you strength and good health for many more days. His presence surrounds you, His peace in your soul, Joy in your heart as you watch your family grow. We appreciate you, more than you’ll ever know, Our beautiful wife, our mother, our home. Outro Happy Mother’s Day… we love you so. Our mother hen… thank you, my love.
