Mothers Day

Don't Forget Mothers Day May 13th (second Sunday in May)

"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,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER," A word that means the world to me.
