M is for the million things she gave me
O means only that she's 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'll always be
Put them all together they spell mother
A word that means the world to me
M is for the mercy she possesses
O means that I owe her all I own
T is for her tender sweet caresses
H is for her hands that made a home
E means everything she's done to help me
R means real and regular you see
Put them all together they spell mother
A word that means the world to me

My mother left us ten days following Mother's Day in 1997. Still turns this old curmudgeon teary on Mother's Day.
Another fitting classic by Eddy.........

Nature and nurture. Both are very important.
