To All Mothers
HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY
*****************************
Mother's Hands
Dear gentle hands have stroked my hair
And cooled my brow,
Soft hands that pressed me close
And seemed to know somehow
Those fleeting moods and erring thoughts,
That cloud my day,
Which quicly melt beneath their suffrage
And pass away.
No other balm for earthly pain
Is half so sure,
No sweet caress so filled with love
Nor half so pure,
No other soul so close akin that understands,
No touch that brings such perfect peace
As Mother's hands.
