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
