I wish you love, a life to share
And when you find someone to care
I hope that time is kind to you
And that all your dreams come true
This is a mother's Christmas wish for you

I wish you peace of heart and mind
To use your strength but still be kind
To learn to give, to learn to lose
To live with truth in all you do
This is a mother's Christmas wish for you

And when you wake on Christmas day
With children of your own
I know then you'll see
What you've been to me
You are the greatest gift of all

A child was born on Christmas day
A shining star to lead the way
And Mary's love was pure and true
And that's the way that I love you
I pray that love would guide you through
This is a mother's Christmas wish for you
