“THE LOVINGEST FACE.”

By Eben E. Rexford

“I LOVE you, mama,” my little one said, As close to my heart crept her golden head; “I love you lots,” with a clasp and kiss, “The best of all mamas my mama is.”
“And I think,” said she, looking up in my eyes With a glance that was tender, grave, and wise, “That you’ve got just the lovingest face; O, O, I’m glad you’re my mama, I love you so!”
What was the praise of the world to me To the love of the little one throned on my knee? And this was my prayer, as I kissed the eyes That were smiling up at me, pansy-wise, May the face of thy mother forever be The “lovingest” face in the world to thee. —Eben E. Rexford.
