M-O-T-H-E-R                                 

---Howard Johnson（c.1915）

MOTHER means the world to me

“M”is for the million things she gave me,

“O”means only that she is growing old,

“T”is for the tears she 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 will always be.

Put them all together,

They spell “MOTHER”,

The person who means the world to me.

I love you mama, Happy Mother’s Day!

诗歌译文：

M-O-T-H-E-R 母亲

M代表着母亲给予了我们一切，

O意味着与此同时她日渐老去，

T象征着她为了抚育我洒下的泪，

H表明了她最无私最伟大的心灵，

E就是她的眼睛,里面洋溢着爱的光芒，

R的意思是正确,因为她永远都是对的。

以上的字母串在一起，便是母亲，

一位对我来说意味着全世界的人。
