To My Mother

"Children and mother never really part-
bound in the beating of each other's heart."
 ~~Charlotte  Gray

Only One Mother

Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,

Hundreds of shells on the shore together,

Hundreds of birds that go singing by,

Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather,

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,

But only one mother the world wide over!
