| Abraham Lincoln's said to have stated |
| At one time or another |
| That all he was or hoped to be |
| He owed to his "angel mother". |
| |
| Little Moses had a mother |
| Who was very clever and wise |
| She hid him in a little boat |
| And gave Pharoah's daughter a real surprise. |
| |
| We're all familiar with the paintings |
| Hanging in galleries here and there |
| Of Mr. Whistler's dear old Mother |
| Sitting in her rocking chair. |
| |
| Even Jesus had a mother |
| Who guided Him thru tender years |
| And when they nailed Him to the cross |
| It must have caused her grief and tears. |
| |
| Now I know another mother |
| Who'll not go down in history |
| But is more important than ALL the rest |
| 'Cause SHE belongs to ME! |
| |
| |
| We recommend you also read |
| A Mother's Fame,
which is the |
| response to this poem from the daughter. |
