One Mother
by Leopoldine E. Golunski

One mother is all you get,
One mother to love and respect.
One mother to help you chase away a nightmare,
One mother to help you with your science fair.
One mother who always helps you out,
One mother who knows what you’re all about.
One mother to love you and give you her heart,
One mother to tell you that you’re really smart.
One mother to get you ready for school,
One mother to tell you that you’re really cool.
One mother to take care of your pet,
One mother to make sure that you’re always set.
So cherish your mother on Mother’s Day,
And cherish her always not only in May.
