A Mother As Wonderful As Mine

Some who should never have been.
But a child innocent and wishful,
Does not get to choose a motherly queen...Read more of A Mother As Wonderful As Mine

A Mother
In this world’s gay throng of fashion, oft we meet with ladies grand,
With fame and
style and oh such beauty sculptured by rare nature’s hand.
Mingled with their
cultured talents and their cunningness to please
Lurk the charms that please so
many men of all – degrees.
Thus we learn to cherish them dearly, also father,
sister, sweetheart, brother;
But grander visions loom to memory when we hear the
name of mother.
She who toiled so long and faithful yet had pleasant smiles to wear
She who tried to
make others happy though she had to grin and bear;
Many burdens tried her
patience as they came anew each day,
With the same sweet smile that greeted us,
as we would hear her say
Consoling words to comfort, when all others were in
vain,
While we loved to have her near us, whene’re we were in pain.
We learn to honor these kind deeds mostly after she is gone,
And her gray hair lies
mouldering beneath some grassy lawn.
‘Tis then we long for one short look into
that dear old face,
And for one brief spell, just those careworn marks to trace,
So wandering down life’s weary stream we are asking one another
If there’s any
human being that can take the place of mother.
But, ah! She like the flowers doth bloom and fade;
Too soon she departs to the realms of
shade,
Though after she withers and goes back to dust,
We do not forget her but
long for her thus.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home, is lisped from one shore to
the other;
Mother, mother, dear, sweet mother, what is home without a mother.

Only A Day With Mother’s
Say, Time, I’ve a bargain to make with you;
Take one whole year of roses and rue,
Give me a
day in its place –
A day you will find in the past somewhere.
With sunshine and
springtime and all things fair
Centered in one sweet face.
O Time, you
have cheated me through the years,
Stolen my laughter and left me your tears,
While signs I must vainly smother.
My life is sad ‘neath its load of woe,
My days are gray and the years move slow –
Give me one glad day with mother.
For I know bright hours would come again,
Joy would conquer my heart’s strong pain,
Could a
boon be mine like this,
My youth’s illusions, now lost and dead,
Would return
with her touch on my aching head,
And the world grow new with her kiss.
One whole year of shadow and night –
What a bargain is this for one day of light!
You will
never find such another.
Take what you will of sorrow and bloom,
Call back a
voice from the silent tomb –
Give me a day with mother.
Ella Z. Harris
Times Have Changed
Mother, you have always been someone I could count on,
To be there even though your day is slam packed with to do's.
I hope this big event in your life allows you,
To be able to sit back and relax and show up, just because you want to...Read more of Times Have Changed
The One Dear Name
Name that tis breathed on battlefields,
And from the dying bed;
Name that we chisel on the
stone
Above our holiest dead;
Name that twe lisped in infancy,
The first we
learned to call;
Name that endures when memory
Can naught but that recall;
Name that means rest and tenderness
Our lips can frame no other –
So precious that
‘tis half divine –
The blessed name of Mother
Hundreds of starts in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together;
Hundreds of
birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of bees in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of lambs in the purple clover;
Hundreds of
lambs in the purple clover;
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one
mother the world over.

A Mother
God thought to give the sweetest thing,
In His mighty power,
And deeply pondering what it
should be – one hour
In fondest joy and love of heart, outweighing every other,
He moved the gates of Heaven apart, and gave to earth – a Mother.
G. Newell
Lovejoy
I. Believe me when beauty shall fade and depart.
And the golden locks silver to gray,
Thou, “Mother o’ Mine” shall still reign in my heart.
Its queen as thou reignest
today.
Every precept for good, ev’ry aim for the right.
Thou hast deeply
instilled in my heart;
Thou hast taught me the tempter to shun and to fight,
And ne’er from right ways to depart.
II. Thou hast taught me to walk in the old-fashioned way,
That will lead me at last up
above,
For thy sons and thy daughters thou ever dost pray,
That their hearts may
be filled with God’s love.
Ne’er on earth shalt thy life find its true, rich
reward.
But as truly as God reigns on high
Thou shall meet Him, and hear His
sweet meet welcome -
“Well done.” In the land of the “Sweet Bye and Bye.”
