Only One Mother
“Annie”
Millions of stars in the heavens above,
Only one mother to cherish and love.
Thousands and thousands of flowers and trees,
Hundreds and hundreds of mountains and seas.
Everything multiplied over and over,
Robbins and butterflies, bees in the clover.
Many good friends to think the world of,
But only one mother to cherish and love.
Loving Family
