Lyrics
- I’m wearing a flower for you, mother, today
A flower like your soul pure and fair
A blossom as sweet as my dreamings of you
Your counsel, your guidance and care
Chorus
For you, mother dear, for you
I’m wearing a flower for you
In memory’s garden, with fragrance divine
Still fairer ones blossom
O mother of mine, for you, for you
I’m wearing a flower for you
In fond memory, that others may see
I’m wearing a flower for you
- I’m wearing a flower that the whole world may know
I’m proud to have claimed for my own
The loveliest sovereign God ever made
To reign from a heart’s sacred throne
