m- o - t -h -e -r

 

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  he  eyes  with  love-light  shining

r  means  right,  and  right  she'  always   be
