"Number One Mom"
When we think of you Mom there is so much to be said;
You always gave us so much love and saw that we was fed.
You've been our sincere advisor when we didn't know what to do;
And many times your instructions always got us through.
Nothing you ever preached will never go for naught;
Because everything we do reflects the teachings we've been taught.
We thank God for you Mamma and all the things you've done;
And you know we love you Mamma, to us you're "Number One"!
