Dads work hard to make the bread
Feed the kids and give them beds
Beads of sweat drop from their brow
Forging steel or steering plow
Moms with their own flesh feed life
Build a home and shield from strife
Sickness fever any day
Mothers wipe the tears away
Mary Mother Virgin wife
Through her flesh came fullest life
Saying yes the gift complete
Mary's lap was Wisdom's seat
Jesus gives the gift of self
Pouring out his life and health
Scorned and scourged and nailed to tree
He gives his all for you, for me
