I know someone who's always giving

and kind.

And others always come first in

this woman's mind.

Her husband and children give meaning

to her life.

And she makes each day a special one

as a mother and a wife.

Someone I know will give you her last

dime if you need it.

And she'll never give a second

thought about it.

Someone I know has given me much

more than I can ever repay.

Not just material things, but love

wisdom & strength that I use day to day.

To this someone I know,

all my love and respect I send.

For she's more than a mother,

she's also my friend.
