MOTHER, GREET YOU.
Well, mother, todays my birthday,
thirty odd years have flown. My
thoughts are of you, mother, and how
| l wish 1 were home. My mind goes
back to the old days when 1 was a
kid SO high. l can see you now, and
myself too-Gee, how time does fly!
Mother, you remember my school
days? when I never would behave,
how you'd put me to bed and spank
me, too, then give me things I'd crave.
How we'd go to visit my grandma, and
all the goodies she'd make, that ap-
pie sauce and biscuits hot, and a lar
ripin frosted cake. But those days
can come no more, I'm a man now, in
age and ways, but how I'd love to re-
turn again, to those wonderful child
hood days. Gee, if 1 could just go
back into those days of yore, to crawl
up in your lap again, to rest there just
OhCO " near you sing an OIO
fashioned song, as you'd rock me off
to sleep. oh, mother dear, 1 yearn
for them, those days of old, how sweet
But I'm married now to a dear little
girl, and we have baby, too. I'm
happy, contented with everything and
SO I'll say to you, there are two per-
sons in my heart that I love to the
full extent, but way down deep in the
bottem, is one little spot, that's meant
just Tor you. dear moth<r, and there's
nothing one can do, that will ever
crowd that little spot, nor take ii
away from you. It's yours mother
and only want to say, I love you
sweet heart lady, your boys with you
today. NS.A.
