HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
A little poem (penned by Phyllis Koh) for you on Mother's Day:
Mummy, you are great!
When you guide me along,
you have created a stake.
The yield is that I will be great
not just by the grades.
This is not a fake, it is very accurate!
Cos' you do everything for my sake.
Happy Mother's Day,
you ought to celebrate! http://www.smilebox.com/playBlog/4d5459314d5459324f54553d0d0a&blogview=true
