The Mother Will Stand

Though harm by them to others has been done The mother will stand by her daughter and son She will tell you that the criminal conviction against them is wrong That in the criminal sort her children does not belong Even though by their actions others they do offend On the support of their mother her children can depend The good mother her children will never disown I only do say what is already known When her children do good things the mother feels proud And of their praises she feels happy for to sing loud When her children are harshly criticized she does take offense And without hesitation springs to their defense Though harm to others they are known to have done The mother will stand by her daughter and son.
