me.
I've banged the door an muttered
angry words beneath my breath. for
at times when she was scoldin'
mothers plagued me most to death.
But I've always laughed it over,
when We've both cooled down bit,
ar we've never had a difference but
a smile would settle it. An if such
a thing could happen, we could share
life's joys and tears an live right
or together for another SO years.
Some men give up too easy, in
the game of married life; they
haven't got the courage to be worthy
of a wife; an I've seen a lot of
women who have made their lives a
mess, cause they couldn't bear the
burdens that are mixed with happi-
ness. So long as folks are human,
they'll have many faults that jar, an,
the way to live with people is TO
take them as they are.
We've been so years together,
good an bad an rain an shine I've
forgotten mothers faults now, an
she never mentions mine In the
days when sorrow struck us, an we
shared a common wee, we just leaned
upon each other, an our weakness
didn't show. An | learned how much
