The following poem was publshed as a letter to the editor in my local newspaper. It is so good that I want to share it with all my readers.
MOTHER is a word that means the world to me
Editor:
M is for the many things she does for me.
O means perhaps she is getting old.
T is for the tears shed to save me.
H is for her heart as pure as gold.
E is for eyes with love always shining.
R is for right and right she will always be.
Put them all together and they spell mother, a word that means the world to me.
