To My Mother

By Mary Carolyn Davies

It is hard to speak the love we feel. My mother, you who taught me first to kneel And give my evening thanks to God, who first Allayed with your own wisdom my child's thirst, Who guided patiently my groping hand,— 'Tis only now at last I understand The half that you have done for me—and oh, I have no words to tell you what I owe! It is so hard to speak my love. I pray You'll understand the words I cannot say. — Mary Carolyn Davies.
