The Courage That My Mother Had
The courage that my mother had
Went with her to the grave;
She lived a life of poverty,
Yet never seemed to crave
The things that make for happiness,
Except a heart that knew
The love of God and the love of man,
And the love that's born anew.
And when at last the weary road
Had led her to the end,
She took her courage with her, and
Went out to meet her Friend.
