Her Little Boy.

Always little boy, to her."
No matter how old he's grown,
Her eyes are blind to the strands of
gray,
She's deaf to his manly tone;
His voice is the same as the day he
asked:
What makes the old cat purr?"
Ever and ever he's just the same
A little boy to her.
Always little boy, to her,,
She heeds not the lines of care
That furrow his face-to her it is still
AS it was in his boyhood, fair,
His hopes and his joys are as dear to
her
AS they were in his small-boy days.
He never changes to her-he's still
"My little boy" she says.
always little boy, to her."
And to him she's the mother fair,
With the laughing eyes and the cheering
smile
OF the boyhood days back there;
Back there, somewhere in the midst of
Back there with the childish Joy.
But always "her little boy
Always a little boy, to her,
The ceaseless march of the years
Goes rapidly by, but its drum beats die
Ere ever they reach her ears.
The smile that she sees is the smile of
youth,
The wrinkles are dimples of joy.
