"Mother's lap

Mothers lap
"And he said TO lad. Garry him tc
his mother.
And when he had taken him ant
brought him to his mother, he sat or
her knee TIL noon"
Your mothers lap! Did childhood have
better place than that?
"a place TO snusglc sleepiy at twilight
I'll for chat;
A tender arm about you, and hand tc
stroke your hair,
And lull you into diea inland while your
head was pillowcd there.
The wealth OF fairy stories, and the Bible
stories, too,
She told. and told and told again, as
mothers love to do,
Is Till eyes all wide with interest and bright
81; with joyous CLEANS
Went shut, to see the fairies in your little
land Of dreams.
Your mothers lap! A havcn-and a
heaven, too, almost
i When little gricfs OF childhood all your
heart and mind cngrossed;
n "A place where you might tell her of the
little sorry whites
Until your tears had gone away, and she
coaxed back the smiles.
No bed so rich in comfort, were you sick
or were you well;
K NO song so sweet in melody as That which
81 softly fell
: From lips whose kisses banishel every
shadow or mishap-
,Did childhood have. a better place for you
~ than mothers lap?"
