Mother




If I could give you diamonds
for each tear you cried for me.


if I could five you sapphires
for each truth you've helped me see.


If I could give you rubies
for the heartache that you've known


If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you've shown.


Then you'll have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.


But I have no pearls, no diamonds,
As I'm sure you're well aware
So I'll give you gifts more precious
My devotion, love and care
.
