How do I tell you, from this daughter <br /> Oh mother of mine, who couldn't have worked harder <br /> To make my life, as best as could be <br /> How much your loved, for loving me <br /> <br /> Things you wanted, so many times <br /> You put aside, to help me and mine <br /> Even when I was growing up <br /> A back you never turned, a door you never shut <br /> <br /> How do I tell you, how much this means <br /> Oh mother of mine, who always beams <br /> With a loving heart, with open arms <br /> Caring for all, with all your charms <br /> <br /> You made life, so very good <br /> For me you did, all you could <br /> You cared for me, through all bad times <br /> Your loved so much, oh mother of mine<br /><br />Betty Halverson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-of-mine/
