M - O - T - H - E- R
A Word That Means The World To Me
"M" is for the mercy she possesses,
"O" means that I owe her all I own,
"T" is for her tender sweet caresses,
"H" is for her hands that made a home;
"E" means everything she's done to help me,
"R" means real and regular, you see,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER",
A word that means the world to me.
When I was but a baby, long before I learned to walk,
While lying in my cradle, I would try my best to talk;
It wasn't long, before I spoke, and all the neighbors heard,
My folks were very proud of me for "Mother" was the word.
Although I'll never lay a claim to fame,
I'm satisfied that I can spell this name:
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"N" is for the tears were shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, 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.
(Lyric by Howard Johnson, Melody by Theodore Morse)
