How can two little syllables
Mean so much?
How many hearts
Has this little word touched?
How many hearts has it turned to mush?

How many little ones with their arms
Reaching up to mommy's face
Have uttered those sweet sounds
At their mommy's sweet embrace?

Mama is such a tiny word
But very few have impact such as this
For to a mommy's listening heart
It is like the sweetest kiss.
