[Homemade Mother's Day card. Front has hand-drawn flowers (yellow, pink, blue) with hand-lettered text reading "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY". Inside has the poem typewritten with hand-drawn flowers showing through from the front.]
Mother,
ON THIS SPECIAL DAY,
HERE ARE A FEW LINES TO SAY,
THAT TO ME YOU MEAN THE MOST
SO TO YOU I OFFER THIS TOAST
THAT IN THE YEARS TO COME,
TO ME YOU'LL ALWAYS BE NUMBER ONE.
Love,
Mike
