ACROSS THE MILES
Mother dear, there are many
miles
between your house and mine;
I've come to a new and foreign
land
and left you far behind.
But though the distance may be
great
between your house and mine,
and though I'm in a strange new
land
with you five thousand miles
behind,
I'd like to pass this thought to
you --
since this is Mother's Day --
a thought that's deep inside my
heart,
said in the simplest way:
To one who is so nice and sweet
I wish joy throughout the years;
may your happiness be complete
and free from grief and tears.
Across the miles I send to you
much love and sincere devotion.
Five thousand miles is far away,
but my love reaches across the
ocean!
I love you, Mama.

mother

1956.
