Dear Mom,

You gave me life, you gave me strength,
You gave me love so real
That now I need this moment just
To tell you how I feel.

A mother's love's the greatest love
Throughout the universe
Much larger than the oft-spoke vows
"For better or for worse."

The very best of teachers, filled
With patience unsurpassed
From alphabet to algebra
Until we're grown at last.

And always there to give advice
Compassion, day or night
Reminding us the smoothest road
Is doing what is right.

So, Mom, I hope this Mother's Day
Holds special joys you're due
This card is filled with so much love
And it's addressed to you!
