Mothers Gems

A mothers work is never done
from early morning to setting sun
Then at the end of the day
she can gaze at her children and say

My diamonds are sparkling in there eyes
My rubies are on there lips
My gold is there on each little head
and see my head is silver intwined

I may not have money
but isn’t it funny
the treasures of the world
are mine
