Mother, what would I do without your warm embrace?

Mama, what would I learn without your supreme knowledge?

Ma, what would I do without your helicopter safety rules?

Mum, what would I be without your reassurances that you love me everyday?

Mom, what would I become without your constant hand on my back, urging me forward to success?

Mommy, how could I live without your guiding hand?
