Ma, Mommy, Mom, Mum

M-O-T-H-E-R (A WORD THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME)
Lyrics by Howard Johnson, music by Theodore Morse

M Is for the Many 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.
