When my thoughts seek out old memories dear to me,
I wander the dear old path of my childhood home.
Guarded there from life's swift currents by father and mother.
The happy times of my childhood were like a dream.

Thank you, little mother, for childhood memories that remain.
Thanks for the faithful daily prayers of both you and father.
Mother, when your time on earth is done, I know
I shall always harvest the fruit of your faithfulness.

The happy hours of my childhood home, the world of dreams disappeared.
Life is a dream. but mother's prayer and counsel are true.
Mother's God will help when no other help we can find
A memory I have of mother in her prayer corner.

The sweet times of childhood we cannot have again.
But I am a child of God and Jesus is my friend.
A home is prepared for me there above in the blue.
The bliss of childhood with my mother I shall renew.

Often I long for home's sweet corner of prayer,
For my home where no pain can reach me there.
But one day I will come to heaven sweet Lord
To meet Jesus, mother, on that golden strand.

This song was written by Charles and Alfred Marker for their mother's funeral.
