You are the mother I received The day I wed your son, And I just want to thank you, mum For everything you have done You’ve given me a gracious man With whom to share my life You are his lovely Mother And I his lucky wife You used to pat his little head And now I hold his hand You raised in love a little boy Then gave to me a man. To my mother in law Stella who is now in heaven may you rest in peace and we will see you again someday.
