MOTHER MARGO (by S. Rogers)

Mother Margo stands before the flag
A copy of the gospel
In her designer bag
She believes in God above
Jesus' abiding love
But just for some

Mother Margo is an almost saint
If it weren't for her beliefs
She would be great
She can laugh and care and hold
Do the mother things as told
And strike a flame

Mother Margo
There's so much you don't know
Light another candle
Goodbye...to the long lost soul


I know I'm not alone when I believe
We often wish our loved ones
Showed up differently
It probably serves an awesome laugh
To whomever sends the
Family matches down

Mother Margo
There's so much you don't know
Light another candle
Goodbye...to the long lost soul


There are so many people who refuse
Who never want to put themselves
In other shoes
What if love replaced the fear
And compassion drew us nearer
To our hearts

Mother Margo
There's so much you don't know
Light another candle
Goodbye...to the long lost soul

Mother Margo stands before the flag
A copy of the gospel in her designer bag
