Mothers

 

There’s a place they call The Bottom, and friends, I’ve been there once or twice.
It’s dark down there and lonely, and something’s missin’ in your life.

Tonight I thought I’d had enough, when I heard a voice said: ” Don’t give up!”
That whisper had an old familiar ring; I didn’t see the angel, but I felt the comfort of her wings.

Daddy always called her angel, I never knew the reason why.
I was looking for a halo; he was looking in her eyes.

She was always there to guide me with all the love a gentle hand could bring.
I didn’t see the angel, but I felt the comfort of her wings.

Now I’m looking back in time to a young man stumbling through the kitchen door.
How Mama kept on praying when she couldn’t tell me nothing any more.

I woke up in my bed again, I guess she must have tucked me in;
I can’t remember much of any thing.

I didn’t see the angel, but I felt the comfort of her wings.

Daddy always called her angel, I never knew the reason why.
I was looking for a halo; he was looking in her eyes.

She was always there to guide me with all the love a gentle hand could bring.
I didn’t see the angel, but I felt the comfort of her wings.

Now that’s why the Lord made her an angel.
I feel the comfort of her wings ….

  1. Sweet Mothers Quotes..
    “My mother is a walking miracle.”
    “A mother understands what a child does not say.”
    “The world needs our mothers.”
    “A mother's hug lasts long after she lets go.”
    “There is nothing as sincere as a mother's kiss.”
    “Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.”

    The mother-child relationship is vital for the healthy development of children. And mothers are not only caregivers; they are also breadwinners for their families...
    And...
    "Motherly love is considered a possessive affection where
    a mother will protect their offspring at all costs."
    For a mother, a child always remains her baby even if he turns 60...
    This unconditional love of mothers is what makes them so special for every child...

  3. Hi Victor, my mother was wonderful, and I was in the room with her when my lovely father died.I can still here her saying 'Don't leave me Eddie,' I was only eleven. I love Mike Denver singing, I love all Irish country music, it is my favourite music, and my husband's too.

  4. Funny how there is sort of a comfort in sad words at times. Imma come back after church and listen to the singing of it.

  6. Wow! This guy could compete with the best country singers here in the States, Victor - I love this song, and had no idea that y'all are into country songs in the Isles. One more thing we have in common besides the language. LOL!
    Blessings!

    1. Oh yes, Martha ... there's quite a strong country following over here. I remember when I was living in London they used to have an annual Country festival with all the stars from the US visiting over here.

      Here's another song you might like. Great instrumental at the end.

  9. Martha has echoed my own sentiments! Not only is this a great song -- but a terrific singer. Makes me want to grab up one of the pups and boot-scoot my way around the room!
