The Mother.
Dear Lord, there is so much to do in
one brief, busy day;
The little clothes to wash and iron
and mend and put away:
The Uttered toys to gather up, the
little beds to make,
The little griefs to soothe away from
little hearts that ache.
The little bodies to be kept. for Thy
sake, clean and sweet.
A temple for the dwelling of the
Christly spirit meet.
And Mary Mother one time knew the
blessedness of this:
The little feet to wash at night, the
little lips to kiss.
lectfui of Thy work.
1t is not that my heart is hard: it is
not that 1 shirk,
But that my heart and hands are full
of these. my little ones,-
Ny little daughters, fair and sweet. my
sturdy little sons. s
Once 1 rejoiced in serving Thee, and
only Thee Away.
And now sometimes / am so tired I
cannot even pray,
But draw near at night to Him whose
mother knew the bliss
OF tender, little feet to wash and little
lips to kiss.
Esther NJ. Clark.
