MOTHER
If I could give you ornaments
for each tear you cried for me.
If I could five you gemstones
for each truth you've helped me see.
If I could give you rubies
for the heartache that you've known
If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you've shown.

Then you'll have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your adorable eyes.

But I have no pearls , no ornaments,
As I'm sure you know it well
So I'll give you gifts more valuable
My commitment, love and care.
