1 Mother

I can sing...
I can sing
...
A poem that shows how there are hundred of beautiful things
in nature, but only one special mother in the world.

Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,

Hundreds of shells on the shore together,

Hundreds of birds that go by singing,

Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather.

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,

Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,

Hundreds of butterflies in the lawn,

But only one mother the whole world over.

—George Cooper

pretty — beautiful; shore — seaside; lamb — young one of a sheep;
dawn — early morning; clover — tiny plants; whole — entire
