After being the center of the home
And seemingly needed by all
This aged mother was oft by a phone
Hoping and waiting for a call
Then in this long season of putting away
She came to be needing much care
To but sit by the sidelines of each passing day
While others were too busy with no time to spare
Who will come and thaw the old memories
And warm the sunsets seen through a window
Who will listen patiently to the stories
And learn from her what she would that we know
...This new and rising generation
Full of energy and song
Could entertain and receive an education
And witness a bond that is strong
Come be grateful and be touched
Through this opportunity to serve
For love is made of such
And it does ever preserve
What Have I Done For Someone Today?
President Thomas S. Monson
