献母亲英语诗歌:the reading mother
i had a mother who read me things
that wholesome life to a child's heart brings
stories that stir with an upward touch
oh that every mother were such
you may have tangible wealth untold
caskets of jewels and coffers of gold
richer than i you can never be
i had a mother who read to me
