Helping Mother

Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Apr 23, 1901

Your hands may be small, but every day They can do something that's good as play; They can help mother, and she'll be glad, For all that's done by her lass or lad.

If all the children would think to-day Of helping mother, as all of them may, They'd bring in water and wood, and do A dozen things she would like them to.

For, though hands are small, and years are few, There's always something that they can do To help their mothers and make them glad; Remember that, little lass and lad.

So help your mothers about their work; Don't wait for asking; don't try to shirk. Do just the best that you can, and she Will say, “What a help are my dears to me!”
