Dear Mothers...

 Dear mothers,

 In all the little things we do 

that we think they'll forget

We never know which ones they'll remember 

so let's just keep on keeping on!

Don’t give up

Though trust and task

Seems to ask for

More than we thought

Love,
Worth each while

Each smile,
Knee-mile

For who knows what,

When it is taught

Will with time fulfill

Its bearing

If we labour with purpose true

Someday we may hear them saying

‘This is what my mom would do’
