                                                  things in life come by twos and
                                                  threes, by dozens and hundreds. 

                                                  Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets,
                                                  rainbows, brothers and sisters,
                                                  aunts and cousins, comrades and
                                                  friends--

                                                  But only one mother in the whole
                                                  world.
