"An Old Fashioned Mother"

She was just an old fashioned mother,

She did not pretend to be 'smart',

To care for her home and her dear ones

Was the wish that was first in her heart.

We were raised by the old fashioned methods

So sparsely employed today

And when so richly deserved it,

We were 'spanked' in the old fashioned way.

She taught us the old fashioned virtue,

"A good name is far better," she'd say

"Than all of the wealth of the nation

And truth is the best any day."

She believed in the old fashioned Bible,

She trusted in old fashioned prayer,

She told us that Jesus would hear us

If we'd speak any time, anywhere.

Thank God for an old fashioned mother,

For the Bible and old fashioned prayer;

For the old fashioned faith that is looking

For our Lord to appear in the air.
