She treats me just like a mother
Though for sure I’m not her son
Yet I appreciate the compassion
When each day is done.
Her faith in God is very strong
This no one can deny
I’ve known Bettie for many a year
And with His help anything she will try.
Bettie will always help others
And at church long hours has spent
She is a very gifted lady
So was welcomed where ever she went.
Now she was known as the Slovak Betty Crocker
And it wasn’t hard to know why
Yes you didn’t know what good was
Until you had her pumpkin pie.
Yes mom as I call her is special
I am grateful for her as a friend
Now there are times we might disagree
Yet in a short time that will end.
Now Bettie still keeps busy
And at doing puzzles she is great
I hope that she has a special birthday
For she will only be ninety-eight!
