IN MY MOTHER'S DAY

Things were different in my mother's day 
First of all their was none of this equal pay
Women worked hard for so little reward 
Only necessities could they possibly afford 

In my mother's day they put their kids first
Watching every penny and fearing the worst
However a meal was always there to enjoy
I never starved when I was a young boy 

Things have changed for the here and now 
A mother's love still remains somehow
Respect them would be my advice to you 
They gave you your life that much is true
