M - O - T - H - E - R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,

"O" means only that she's growing old,　

"T" is for the tears she shed¹ 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.
