Try typing in the first line (inside quotes) on the Ask Jeeves website, which is www(.)ask(.)co(.)uk . I was looking everywhere for the words of a song from Lion King and found them there. Good luck, Mandy

I don't think you will have much luck finding an author. It seems to have originated in America as a poem for Mother's day but I could be wrong. I found another version: Mother To me who bears the sweetest name And adds a lustre to the same No bouquet can tell how much beauty She has brought to my life. No message can convey How much she is loved by me. Some things are beyond words and expressions There is no other Who can take the place of my dear mother My mom is simply the best I wish long life to her! — Rashpinder Sangha, student of PGDCA, Akal Degree College for Women, Sangrur. Here is another one I liked: What Is A Mother? A heart that can hear every unspoken need, Wisdom to know when to quietly lead, Hands that reach out, always helping and sharing- A mother is caring! Eyes that reflect every joy that you find, Arms to encircle, but never to bind, A talent for making the most out of living- A mother is giving! A voice that can soothe or inspire or delight, A smile that keeps shining when things don't go right, An angel God sends us from Heaven above- A mother is caring and giving and love! If anyone finds out please post the answer here. Bob
