Once upon a time, in days of yore,
A tiny child with dreams to soar.
I wished to gift my mother dear,
A token of love, to bring her cheer.

Across the globe, I roamed so far,
Beneath the sea, and to the stars.
In shadowed depths and skies so blue,
I sought a gift as pure and true.

From dawn till dusk, through night and day,
I traveled wide on my hopeful way.
Yet nowhere did I find a thing,
To match the joy...
