MOTHER LOVE.

By Mary Ware

Tho other friends may join To soothe life's bitter cares, None but a mother's love Can stay the falling tears.
No voice like hers can thrill With music's sweetest tone, No love like hers forgive And bless the erring one.
From hopeless, tottering youth To sorrowful old age, The memory of mother love Will gild life's golden page.
The kindness that seemed To us so very small Will gather meaning when She is beyond recall.
The tears we caused to flow Will rend our hearts with pain; Each unkind word of ours Will seem to live again.
God pity those who learn Too late, or fail to prize A mother's sympathetic love, The truest 'neath the skies. —Mary Ware.
