"You held me close to your heart.
Loved me before I was born,
took God's hand and walked with me
through the valley of shadows that I might live.
Prayed with me through all the days
when flooded with sunshine, or saddened by shadows.

"Comforted me when I suffered with my joys,
nursed me on pillows softer than down
and sang to me in the voice of an angel.
Held my hand till I learned to walk,
taught my lips the way to talk,
and led me to the King's Highway
to play the manly part.
I will always love you,
my beautiful mother."

(NOTE: The music playing is
"DOWN IN THE VALLEY"
It was the song Mom sang to me as she held me in her arms ...
Oh, how I wish I could here her sing it again!
