below;    
                                                                    
 On mother’s day we got up
first,


So full of plans we almost
burst.


We started breakfast right
away


As our surprise for mother’s
day.


We picked some flowers, then
hurried back


To make the coffee --- rather
black.


We wrapped our gifts and
wrote a card


And boiled the eggs --- a
little hard.


And then we sang serenade,


Which burned the toast, I am afraid.


But Mother said, amidst our
cheers,


‘Oh, what a big surprise, my
dears.


I’ve not had such a treat in
years.’


And she was smiling to her
ears!
