How Do I love Thee Mother
How do I love thee mother?
Let me count the ways you do for me;
A time I was born your love is there
Devoted your life everyday that passes
And even though was a hardheaded girl
A single voice of anger, I never hear
Your love neither changed nor faded
Thus made you cry; shouldered my blunder
Yet accepted me despite an outcast
In everything I've done dear mother
Always there regardless of my past
Is there a need to ask for more?
Will it be enough love you with all heart?
Guess it's not for such a mother's love
No greatest than any love on earth
Neither bought nor paid in cash-
It's undeniably beyond life to measure.
