MOTHER
Written by Howard Johnson

"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.
--Howard Johnson
“母亲”的含义
"M"代表她所给予我的无数，
"O"的意思是她在日渐老去，
"T"是她为抚育我洒下的泪，
"H"指她有像黄金一样的心灵，
"E"就是她的眼睛，里面洋溢着爱的光芒，
"R"的意思是正确，因为她永远都是对的。
将以上字母串在一起就是“母亲（mother）”，
这个词说出了我整个的世界。
--霍华德•约翰逊
