M-O-T-H-E-R (A Word That Means The World To Me)

I've been around the world, you bet
But never went to school
Hard knocks are all I seem to get
Perhaps I've been a fool
But still some educated folk
Supposed to be so swell
Would fail if they were called upon
A simple word to spell

Now if you'd like to put me to a test
There's one dear name that I can spell the best

M is for the million things she gave me
O means only that she's growing old
T is for the tears were shed to save me
H is for her heart of purest gold
E is for her eyes with love light shining
R means right and right she'll always be
Put them all together, they spell "mother"
A word that means the world to me

E is for her eyes with love light shining
R means right and right she'll always be
Put them all together, they spell "mother"
A word that means the world to me
