Flowers for Mother

I'd love to send you flowers Mother,
If there were some way I could.

For I know how much you loved them
And on you they looked so good.

We would pin them on your shoulder
And then take you out to dinner.

In a contest for best mothers
You would surely be the winner.

Hope you knew how much we loved you,
These seven children that you bore.

We had our little rivalries
As to which one loved you more.

You made each of us feel special
And more precious than the rest.

For each of us was certain it
Was she or he you loved the best.

It has been a long time Mother
Since we brought our flowers to you.

On this Mother's Day, dear Mother,
You must know we wanted to.
