One song, two versions

"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.
(Eddy Arnold)

If you were born after the Second World War, you may not know this song. I was born after the Second World, War, and the reason I know it is because of my job. In one of my groups, I thought it wuold be fun to compose our own words to it. So we decided to make each letter a phrase that mothers would say.


M - is for "Make your bed this morning".

O- is "Only one day at a time".

T - is "Time to eat, then brush your teeth dear."

H - is 'Home is where the heart resides".

E - is "Eat your veggies, and you'll grow tall".

R - is "Run you're going to miss the bus."

Put them all together, they spell MOTHER, a word that means the world to us.
