Mothers are the great heroes of American families. One day is hardly enough to celebrate all that mothers contribute to families and society, but it will have to do. At least that. Happy Mother’s Day!

This song is adapted from an acceptance speech by actress Jessie Buckley (as described in a column by Jennifer Oliver O’Connell): https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/03/16/a-hollywood-starlet-praises-marriage-family-and-motherhood-n2200265.

The Mother’s Day Song lyrics

The incredible chaos of a mother’s heartThe capacity of a mother to loveA mother who can’t wait to discover lifeBeside her children, boys and girlsA mother’s love never goes awayNo matter how much she ages

Celebrate what matters in lifeLove, marriage, and family above allA mother is the ultimate optimistShe believes the future is worth investing inShe believes in raising her kids to inherit it

One day,the last crayon drawing is taken off the fridgeThe last lunchbox gets packedAnd the last little voice calls, “Mommy”Time moves fast, but love doesn’tThat’s why I’m giving her somethingThat holds every reason she’s loved,In my own wordsMoms deserve the worldWhy not give your mom your world today?

One day, it will be the last hugThe last goodbyeThe last see you laterThe last dinnerThe last movieThe last time you get to tell your momYou love herMake sure she knows nowTell her today

We love our mothers!Happy Mother’s Day!
