My Great Mother

If I could give you diamond

for each tear you cry for me

If I could give you pearls

for each wisdom you've shown

then you will have a treasure, mother,

it would mount up the skies

That would almost match to shine and care

In your loving eyes

but I have no pearl no diamond

As I am sure you are aware

so I'll give you a more

precious gift of my

devotion and care....
