Archibeque -- MARY V. ARCHIBEQUE June 12, 1934 - February 21, 1997We can only have one Mother. Patient, kind and true, No other friend in all this world Will be so true to you. For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return. If all the world deserts you, To Mother you can turn. Many tears you've caused her, When you were sad or ill. Maybe sleepless nights, Tho' grown you cause her still So every time you leave her Or when you come or go, Give her a kind word, and a kiss, 'Tis what she craves, I know, We can only have one Mother, None else can take her place, You can't tell how you'll need her, Till you miss her loving face, Be careful how you answer her, Choose every word you say, Remember she's your Mother Tho' now she's old and gray. We can only have one Mother, Oh, take her to heart; You cannot tell how soon the time When you and she must part. Let her know you love her dearly. Cheer and comfort her each day. You can never get another When she has passed away.Mom, We Love and Miss You, The Archibeque Family
