If I could give you diamonds
for each tear
you cried for me.
if I could five you sapphires
for each truth
you’ve helped me see.
If I could give you rubies
for the heartache
that you’ve known
If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that
you’ve shown.
Then you’ll have a treasure, mother,
that
would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in
your kind and loving eyes.
But I have no pearls, no
diamonds,
As I’m sure you’re well aware
So I’ll give you gifts
more precious
My devotion, love and care.
