For the innocent smiles and fresh kicking feet
Sponge baths and bed pans
For the stiff bones and hard of hearing
All done with a mother's gentle touch
Mother's in the newest style
Urging you on with a big smile
Every step new and exciting
Nurses in faded gowns of white
Helping you down the hall
Every wobbly step one after another
Life's first breath released
So delicate in mother's arms
Death's fresh scent draws near
To the helpless and bedridden
From beginning to end
