3. To My Mother
For all the times you gently picked me up,
When I fell down,
For all the times you tied my shoes
And tucked me into bed,
Or needed something
But put me first instead.
For everything we shared,
The dreams, the laughter,
And the tears,
I love you with a "Special Love"
That deepens every year.

6. Does your mother say any of these things?
Are there any that you do not like?
Are there any that you find funny?
Do you think Mum's repeat what their mums said to
them growing up?
Can you imagine saying similar things if you become a
father or mother?
Why do Mums say these things?
