M-O-T-H-E-R
“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”,
A word that means the world to me.
---Howard Johnson(c.1915)

M代表著母親給予了我們一切,
O意味著與此同時她正在衰老,
T象征著她為了拯救我們流的淚,
H表明了她最無私最偉大的心靈,
E是她充滿著愛萬分溫柔的眼神,
R說明著正確,并且代表著她永恒的真理。
把他們合在一起, 便是母親,
一個對我來說意味著全世界的詞。
