Happy Mother’s Day
May 8, 2009 (Friday)
Sunday is Mother’s Day. Whenever I think of it,
an old song by Howard Johnson always pops into my mind.
It’s very sentimental (some call it “sappy” today, and
probably other things I haven’t heard), but I’m sure it was
written from the heart, and I know it was sung from the
heart of many a person. Here it is:
“M” is for the million things she gave me, To all mothers who may read this little blog, I say, “Happy Mother’s Day!”
Mother
“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.
