A Mother’s Christmas Wish

I wish you love
A life to share
And when you find
Someone to care
I hope that time
Is kind to you
And that all your dreams come true
This is a mother's Christmas wish for you

I wish you peace
Of heart and mind
To use your strength
But still be kind
To learn to give
To learn to lose
To live with truth in all you do
This is a mother's Christmas wish for you

And when you wake on Christmas day
With children of your own
I know then you'll see
What you've been to me
You are the greatest gift of all

A child was born
On Christmas day
A shining star
To lead the way
And Mary's love
Was pure and true
And that's the way that I love you
I pray that love would guide you through
This is a mother's Christmas wish for you
