Well, I've been stumbling around through your many excllent suggestions without success. (I'm not very good at this searching thing)
I am trying to help in-laws find an old poem with a moral. The first lines (I think) are

"I love you , Mother," said little Nell.
" I love you, Mother. I love you well."

I think the idea is that one daughter did things for her mother while the others just professed their love and then went on their selfish ways.

A poem with a moral. You m'catters were great in helping me find some old tear jerker songs for them, and now they think I'm some sort of a magician. I love it!! If you know this stupid poem you will save my reputation!!!
