A mother serves her sugar with A bit of peppermint To clarify the passages That carry what she meant When she first set to bear a soul Quite separate from her own, Whom she would cherish, yet must teach To live and die alone.
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. Mommy, I love you
Make for me a place within your heart On which I can depend. For only you Touch the ancient wellsprings of my tears, Home through all the wanderings of my years, Eden that no other can renew, Root I cannot rend through rage or art.
