What makes a Mother special?
It's the love she always shares,
The many little thoughtful things
That show how much she cares...

When you're little, she protects you,
She tucks you in at night,
And when you feel unhappy
She's the one who hugs you tight...

With her gentleness and patience
She teaches you the way
To solve the grownup problems
That you'll have to face someday...

And when she knows you're ready,
A Mother steps aside,
But still she watches over you
With tender, loving pride.
