Mothers

“Mothers, where would we be without them?”

A Tribute

A picture memory brings to me:

I look across the year and see

Myself beside my mother’s knee.

I feel her gentle hand restrain

My selfish moods, and know again

A child’s blind sense of wrong and pain.

But wiser now, a man gray grown,

My childhood’s needs are better known,

My mother’s chastening love I own.

-John Greenleaf Whittier
