To Mothers

By Katie M. Pogue

MRS. KATIE M. POGUE
Dear mothers, so burdened and weary, Does your load seem too heavy to bear? Do life's duties and cares seem too irksome? O, take all to Jesus in prayer!
Do you thoughtlessly yield to impatience, And a frown black and threatening wear, Speaking words that are biting and cruel? O, take all to Jesus in prayer!
Do you know that the work God gives mothers, Though so lightly regarded on earth, Is accounted of value in heaven, Where all is appraised at true worth?
Then let us be faithful, dear mothers, That at last, when we all gather home, We may say, “Behold here, dear Jesus, Our little ones; not one is gone.
“Thou didst lend them to us for a season, To brighten our earth-dreary days; Lo, now we are bringing them, Master, To join in thy worship and praise.”
