A Vision Of Mother

Often my thoughts drift back to childhood

To the times when I was free

As I played before the fireside

'Round my darling, mother's knee

There's a blessed home up yonder

Where my loved ones wait for me

I saw mother in a vision

Kneeling there to pray for me

Then one day our mother left us

Daddy said she'd gone to rest

I remember how she loved me

As she clutched me to her breast

There's a blessed home up yonder

Where my loved ones wait for me

I saw mother in a vision

Kneeling there to pray for me

Some sweet day I'll meet you, mother

Your little boy is coming home

To see you as in days of childhood

The one you loved and left alone

There's a blessed home up yonder

Where my loved ones wait for me

I saw mother in a vision

Kneeling there to pray for me
