My One Great Love

My One Great Love

A tear ago, I was blue but brave,

for you were there---willing to save.

Said she to me, “Don’t worry my baby!”

forever, I will love this lady.

For nine months she carried me,

when I came to the world she shouted with glee.

And in nineteen years of caring and nurturing,

your warmth is forever comforting.

Oh mother, my mother,

you’re getting young but cooler!

Mother, you’re my alter ego,

 you never fail to be my amigo.

You may keep my hand for a moment,

But my heart for a lifetime.

You are my one great love,

Second to the one above.
