THE SWEETEST GIFT A MOTHER'S SMILE (J. B. Coats) One day a mother came to a prison To seek an erring but precious son. She told the warden how much she loved him. It did not matter what he had done. (Chorus, with response in parentheses:) She did not bring (bring to him) parole or pardon (pardon free). She brought no silver (brought no gold), no pomp nor style (him to see). It was a halo (halo bright) sent down from heaven (heaven's light), The sweetest gift (gift), a mother's smile (mother's smile). Her boy had wandered far from the fireside, Though she had pleaded with him each night. But not a word did she ever utter That told her heartache. Her smile was bright. She left a smile you can remember. She's gone to heaven, from heartaches free. Them bars around him will never change her. He was her baby and e'er will be. @prison filename[ MOTHRSML XX |
