Said the baby goat to her mother, "I love you as much as the mountain is steep"

Said the baby fish to her mother, "I love you as much as the ocean is deep"

Said the baby bear to her mother, "I love you as much as the honey in the bee hives"

Said the baby ant to the her mother, "I love you as much as food on the ground"

Now sleep mother of mine, while stars shine above, I love you as much as a daughter can love.

Love, Anna
