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
“母親”的含義
"M"代表她所給予我的無數,
"O"的意思是她在日漸老去,
"T"是她為撫育我灑下的淚,
"H"指她有像黃金一樣的心靈,
"E"就是她的眼睛,里面洋溢著愛的光芒,
"R"的意思是正確,因為她永遠都是對的。
將以上字母串在一起就是“母親(mother)”,
這個詞說出了我整個的世界。
--霍華德•約翰遜
