Mom is Best (Daddy's Homecoming)

So last year I asked my good friend (Emily Johnston) if she could write me a new Mother's Day song that was whiny.  She told me she didn't write music, I asked her to use Daddy's Homecoming and just write the words.  We discussed what we love about our mothers and came up with verse 1.  It was good but as I prepared to teach it to our new group of kids after they combined our wards I realized it was missing a few important things about our mothers that should be included.  Our first version was very secular and needed some spiritual aspects added.  Our Latter-day Saint mothers are so much more than wonderful loving people. So this year we worked together and wrote a second verse telling about the wonderful spiritual stuff our mommy's do too.  I hope you love the song.  I certainly do.
