母亲，是世界上最神圣的字眼，它包含了最伟大的爱。“慈母手中线，游子身上衣”可能也是我们最熟悉的诗句了。今天，就让我们借一首小诗，献上对母亲深深的爱吧！

You are not my birth mom - My real Mom wasn't you.

But You are oh so special - and the loving things you do

Make me feel so valuable - You cheer me up when I'm sad.

And If you were my Real Mom I know I would be glad.

Birth：表示“出世、诞生”等意思，比如，The birth of a child（小孩的出生）。在这里，birth表示“身世、出身”，You are not my birth mom就是“您（虽）不是我的亲生母亲”的意思。另外还有birth brothers and sisters就表示“同胞兄弟姐妹”的意思。

Cheer up：表示“使……振作起来”的意思，它的同义词是buck up。如果你想安慰伤心的朋友，就可以说 Cheer up! The news is not so bad.（振作一点吧，也不是什么太坏的消 息）。这句话可是很顶用的呵！

Moms are special people. They are loved and needed so.

Now I am thinking of You. And I wanted you to Know -

That since it's time for Mothers' Day -

And though you're just on loan -

I Love you just as much As If you were My very own!

On loan：on loan的本意是“借来的”。哇！借来的妈妈！你听说过吗？开个小玩笑，在这里on loan其实表示“非亲生的”的意思。
