I yearn for Her connection A chance to know Her face Her gentleness and holiness The warmth of Her embrace I search for Her in longing And find Her everywhere For all the world reminds me: I have a Mother there A Mother there I have a Mother there! A Mother there I have a Mother there! I see Her in the colors That dance on painted wings In blooming hues that fill my view When winter yeilds to spring I hear Her in the songbird's Melodic gifts to air For all the world reminds me: I have a Mother there A Mother there I have a Mother there! A Mother there I have a Mother there! I smell in pink carnations A hint of Her bouquet And feel Her breeze give life to trees On peaceful, summer days I taste Her in the sweetness Of autumn's golden pear For all the world reminds me: I have a Mother there A Mother there I have a Mother there! A Mother there I have a Mother there! I see Her in the aging In children as they grow In hushing cries and lullabies Yes, every gentle kindness helps me know A Mother there I have a Mother there! A Mother there I have a Mother there! I sense Her in the silence In moments I am still She reaches back and teaches that Her love is what I feel Now brimming with this wisdom I find Her everywhere For all the world reminds me: I have a Mother there For all the world reminds me: I have a Mother there
