Who can replace mother, <br />Certainly there is no other, <br />She cares and she tries, <br />And because of her children tears fill her eyes. <br /> <br />Whenever her breed wins or falls, <br />Joy and grief she bears it all, <br />A father, a sister or a brother, <br />None of them compare to a mother.<br /><br />Steven Reeve<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mothers-tears/
