GOOD MOTHERS
(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox)
| think God has with Stars impaired
The words: Good Mothers of the World
But that has not made scant supply
OF stars remaining in the sky;
For what the Maker means by good
Is not the word as understood
By men and women who, today,
Walk lin traditions ruts and say
Good Mother OF some selfish soul M
Who for her children wants the whole
OF earth's blessings, with no care
How other mothers children fare.
She lions seize the lions share
For their own cubs; but that same bent
Of impulse was not Gods intent
For mothers of the human race
Man should mount upward to his place
Close to immortals. Steep the climb
Needing each moment of the time
To earth allotted. This is the work
The rare good mother does not shrk
Leading the young, outreaching mind 8
To thoughts of kinship for its kind,
Showing the way to larger joys
BY sharing of the childish toys,
And stamping on the waxlike brain
This truth: All mankind is chain
Each life link or great or small,
United portions of the All;
And he who harms a living thing
Harm to the whole vast world must bring
Good mothers rouse in each young soul
Its latent power of self control.
The builder Mind-receives from her
Timbers for lofty character.
And from the soil up to the skies,
She helps the structure spread and rise.
