Our little lad came In one day
With dusty shoes and tired feet:
His playtime had been hard and long.
Out in the summers noontide heat.
I'm glad I'm home.' he cried. ana hung
His torn straw hat up in the hall.
While In the corner by the door
He put away his bat and ball.
II wonder why" his auntie said
This little lad alwHys comes here.
When there are many other homes
As nice as this AMI quite as near
He stood a moment deep In thought
Than. with love light in his eye.
He pointed where his mother sat. .
And said: She lives here; that is why.
With beaming face the mother heard
Her mother heart was very glad.
A true. sweet answer he had given
That thoughtful. loving little lad.
And well know that hosts OF laos
Are just as loving. true ana dear;
fha: they would answer as ne did;
