BE KIND To THE LOVED ONES AT HOME
Be kind TO thy Father, for when thou vert young
Who loved thee SO fondly as hot
He caught the frs, that fell from thy tongue
And Joined in thine innocent glee.
Be kind 10 thy Father-tor now he is old,
His locks interminged with grey;
His footsteps feeble, once fearless and bold,
Thy Father is passing away,
Be kind TO thy Mother for 10 on her brow
NAV traces of sorrow be seen;
we'll mayst thou cherish and comfort her now,
For loving and kind hath she been.
Remember thy Mother for thee she will pray
As long IS God give,h her breath,
With accents of kindness then cheer her lone way
Zen to the dark valley Of death.
Be kind to thy Brother--his heart will have dearth,
II the smile Of thy Joy be withdrawn;
The flowers OF feeling will fade al their birth,
If the dew Of affection be gone.
Be kind TO thy Brother wherever you are,
The love of a brother shall be,
An ornament purer and richer by far,
Than pearls from the depth of the sea-
Be kind TO thy Ss,er-not many may know
The depth of true ssterly 1--we;
The wealth OF The ocean lies fathnms below
The surface that spurkles above.
Be kind TO thy Father, once fearless and bold,
Be kind 10 Inv Mother so near;
Be kind to thy Brother nor show thy heart cold,
Be kind TO thy Sister so dear.
