To mother Margeret, I'm honored to be
One child of seven, the middle ones me
You sacrificed alot, gave love and years
Took care of us all, dried all our tears
I want to thank you, your heartfelt love
The wonderful life, earned respect above
Heritage so special, integrity that seems
Fine focus achieving, work fufills dreams
Cooking and cleaning, endless won't quit
Till tasks completed, not till then sit
Working till dark, far into the night
No stop or rest, till all prefect right
Early dawn riser, breakfasts to build
Top to bottom, our stomachs filled
All need lunches, clean clothes wear
Dawn started early, endless kid care
Berries need picking, learn how to drive
Sew MCC blankets, wedding dresses arrive
Learning the english, ceramics was fun
Between all your jobs, you endlessly run
Nuturing your babies, count seven in all
Taught right and wrong, learnt stand tall
I want to tell you, your love over flows
Covered the family, blessed and it shows
