Remember Mother

All our lives, let us remember Mother.
When we are sad or hurt,
may we remember her loving arms and be comforted.
When we are happy,
let us share joy with her in recollection.
When we are ill,
may we remember her tender care for our childhood ills and
be strengthened.
When we are tempted to do wrong,
let us recall her wise guidance and her prayers in our behalf.
When we fail,
may her memory give us courage to try again.
When we succeed,
may we see again the pride in her eyes.

Remember Mother with devotion while she lives and with loving
memory when she is gone. But always - remember Mother!
