Listen to poem:

Mum's the Word

I heard a little secret
I'm not about to tell
Then again, on second thought
I guess I might as well

The greatest gal that ever was
I'm sure you would agree
Sons and daughters everywhere
Would feel the same as me

Is one who loves without a doubt
Or any strings attached
And when it comes to caring 
Her love cannot be matched

And so it stands to reason
That mothers are so great
And grammas even greater
Sometimes they just can't wait

Thanks Jill. There's a wonderful brand new secret hidden deep within this poem. So far, I've only been allowed to tell my mom. Only she will appreciate the GREATness of this poem. Only she will understand its entire meaning. If you follow my stuff, you must watch for that, as it's often my goal.
