Every day is mothers Day. We
never knew a day without mother, and
thank God, we never shall. Back as
far as memory carries us we ind her.
She is the first person we came to
know. Her face bent over the cradle
in which we lay. Her voice was the
first we heard in the morning and the
last we heard at night.
AS we grew through boyhood and
girlhood, she was always there; there
to wipe away the tears, to pick the
thorns from our fingers, to kiss the
bruises, to mend u torn garments,
to cook for us, wash for us, pray for
us.
When we left the old home, hers
was the last face we saw as we turned
the bend in the road. She stood shad-
Ing her .tear-dimmed eyes with her
hand, looking, looking-and still pray
ing.
We came back and went again. She
was always mother.
No word exists that can define he,
1T we're sacrilege to attempt. We
can liken her to nobody, and to moth
ing. She stands alone.
Is she still here, as we have always
known her? Then happy son., happy
daughter? Is she only a memory
Then blessed possession, for she II
still ours. Death cannot take hel
from us. The years are powerless t.
blot out her name. As we shall sinl
into the long sleep, her dear face viii
look into ours.
Her presence and her memory ar
so fnetrwoven with all the best tina
we think and feel and purpose that u
\ lose her would be to reduce our Who'll
life to ruin.
None SO lofty rs the throne OF moth
erhood. No government has SO grea
power as does the magic scepter Q
motherhood. No kingdom so secur
as is the kingdom Of motherhood.
States change, governments perish
and nature migrates; all things eb
and flow; but Mother is Mother fror
the beginning to the end OF time. Sh
changes not. Her day is yesterday. t.
