basically, it says

A present from mam (mamo)
to cherish and love
like a picture of love
to the peace and decoration of heart
with memories and song

Aye,

Gift from Mamo to keep and remember,
Like a picture of love, bright & clean.
The quiet tounge, to the heart decorates, (wears)
The affection, and warm reminders, and song.
