A Mother’s Good-By

By John R. Clements

A WAVE of the hand from the cottage door As her boy turned the roadway’s bend; A wave of the hand as in days of yore— A wave of the hand, but ’twas vastly more! A mother’s heart and a mother’s prayer That will follow his footsteps everywhere Is the token her boy will read for aye In the wave of the hand she gave today From the old hillside cottage door. —John R. Clements.
