Mother

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.

Nobody knows of the work it makes,

To keep the home together.

Nobody knows of the steps it takes,

Nobody knows-but "Mother".
