M O T H E R

   M is for the million things she gave me,

   O means only that she's growing old,

   T is for the tears she shed to save me

  H is for her heart of purest gold;

  E is for her eyes with love-light shining

R means right and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell " Mother"

A word that means the world to me



Howard Johnson ( c. 1915)
