Her name was Anna Jarvis, came from Philadelphia
And when her mother passed away, she'd help departed Ma
It just so happened when her dear sweet mother was alive
She organized some women's groups, to help some mothers strive
Her ma would talk about her plans, so Anna always knew
Exactly what her wishes were, she'd make her dreams come true
So Anna started it the day that she knew she would mourn
After she buried her sweet ma, then Mother's Day was born
That was 1907, on May 12th, just like this year
But did she think her mother's wishes really would adhere
On May 9th, 1914, Woodrow Wilson, President
Proclaimed official Mother's Day, was a yearly event
Then later she was sorry that she ever organized
Because it all became a little too commercialized
And that may be, but mom deserves a day she's specialized
There's many childless women, big hearts should be recognized
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
So, Happy Mother's Day, my friends, I hope you'll have no qualms
To help me please find other words the world uses for Mom
