 * [Nacie shows up]
 * Rebecca Parham: Psst, Nacie, you're in the shot.
 * Nacie: Oh, I know. I'm just here to make sure you don't royally mess up. We all know you will.
 * Rebecca Parham: Whoa, no, Nacie, I will not have you ruining my perfectly written masterpiece of a mother's day poem. Now get going.
 * Nacie: Well, fine, but don't come crying to me when you boil your mother to tears.
 * Rebecca Parham: Ungrateful little.. Anyways, mom, without any further interruptions, I shall recite my newest masterpiece, "Ode to Mother".
 * Who is there to pick me up whenever I fall down?
 * Who dries my tears and holds me tight to wipe away my frown?
 * Who raised me well in laid down rules?
 * Who taught me right from wrong so I could lead a hearty life-


 * Nacie: Of debauchery and thongs?
 * Rebecca Parham:
 * My dearest mother I owe you much
 * Much more than you will know.


 * Nacie: To be precise, the bill has grown to about a million or so.
 * Rebecca Parham:
 * Healthy habits and key life skills
 * Wise words I can recall.


 * Nacie: Though clearly stated by her room she didn't listen at all.
 * Rebecca Parham: Nacie-
 * Nacie:
 * When troubles came, you backed her up
 * And you stand beside her still
 * So she might learn from her mistakes
 * Though we know she never will.


 * Rebecca Parham: Excuse me!
 * We've had our laughs!
 * We've had our tears...
 * True hurdles we have seen...


 * Nacie:
 * And they may not have been as high
 * If she weren't a drama queen.


 * Rebecca Parham:
 * Your strength inspires your nerve ignites
 * An example you have set
 * For making it through life alive
 * And leaving few regrets.


 * Nacie:
 * As mothers go, we know so few
 * That support insanity
 * Though with patience and true grit
 * You've survived commendably
 * You know her world though it is strange
 * And help her to excel I know you get inside her head
 * 'Cause I'm in there as well


 * Rebecca Parham:
 * Animation, songs and shows. So many different plans.
 * My greatest works could not do without my biggest fan.
 * For everything you've done I hope one day I can reward,
 * With love and strength and happiness


 * Nacie: And whatever else she can't afford.
 * Rebecca Parham: And so to you, we say with love, happy Mother's Day.
 * Nacie: She may not be the perfect child...
 * Rebecca Parham: ...but thanks for loving me anyways.
