Mother of Mine

If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

Rudyard Kipling

To all mothers among our commenters, contributors and readership, the happiest of Mother’s Days!

Thank you!

That pretty much says it all: unconditional love.

Like the Kipling quote –

but LOVE our own Kiwi girl, Hayley Westernra singing this lovely song.

(Word to her mum (her manger – still, I think) sort out the wardrobe)
