Blessed are mothers
who did without for us,
they will be rewarded.
Blessed are mothers
who lost sleep when we were sick,
they will find rest.
Blessed are mothers
who taught us how to pray, they
will share God’s kingdom.
Blessed are mothers
who comforted us,
they shall be comforted.
Blessed are mothers
who taught us right from wrong,
they will know justice.
Blessed are mothers
who shared with us
the meaning of peace,
they shall know peace.
Blessed are mothers
who taught us the importance
of loving God and each other,
they shall see God.
