M - O - T - H - E - R

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)


And now here's my own attempt at writing a short Mother's Day poem:
I have no fear,
When you're near.
You're my shining light,
You're always right.
You're kind,
Pure in mind.
Mummy dearest,
You're the greatest!
