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)
