"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)

My mom is very sweet and always caring.
She worries about me when I am in school.
She makes sure that I get where I am going
On time so that I don't feel like a fool.
She cares whenever I pick on my younger brother.
She cares whenever he or I get hurt.
She cares whenever I score a goal in soccer.
She cares about the buttons on my shirt.
But best of all, my mom loves all of us
Who live with her, both when we're good and bad.
She makes me happy with a hug and kiss
And holds my hand whenever I am sad.
Mommy, I love you
For all that you do.
I'll kiss you and hug you
'Cause you love me, too.
You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile 'cause I love you
On this Mother's Day.
