I hope you know that words couldn't shaw How much I adore you Mother. As luck would have it
I got this habit admiring you Mother. None ofthe movie stars
Diamond rings or fancy cars can compare to you Mother.
Since before I can remember That month before November I was blessed with the gift ofyou Mother
Andfor all those years My triumphs and tears You were always there Mother. Now that I am grown, I don't think I've shown How much I love you Mother So in case I didn't succeed, I'm writing this because I need You to know, I JUST LOVE YOU MA.

The Sweetest Word
I know many words in myfew short days I 've done many wrongs, but learnedfrom your ways
Whom knew you couldn 't compare Whom adored you needn't ask to share
In your wisdom grace and beauty With these you couldn 't leave me in despair. Mother wherever your Spirit soars let it be free You are everlasting in my heart my soul my thoughts
Everything that is me.
