The Mother Watch.

She never closed her eyes in sleep till we
were all in bed
On party nights till we came home she
often sat and read
We little thought about it then, we were
so young and gay,
How much the mother worried when we
children were away.
We only knew she never slept when we
were out at night,
And that she waited just to know that
we'd come home all right.
Why, sometimes when we'd stayed away
till one or two or three,
1t seemed to us that mother heard the
turning of the key;
For always when we stepped inside shed
call and we'd reply;
But we were all too young back then to
understand just why.
Until the last one had returned she
always kept a light,
For mother couldn't sleep until she'd
kissed us all good night
She had to know that we were safe before
she went to rest;
She seemed to fear the world might harm
the ones she loved the best.
And once she said: "When you are
grown to women and to men,
Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night
through may be different then"
And so it seemed that night and day we
knew a mothers care
That always when we got back home
we'd find her waiting there.
Then came the night that we were
called to gather round her bed
''The children all are with you now" the
kindly doctor said.
And in her eyes there CLEANED again the
old-time tender light
That told she had been waiting just to
know we We're all right
She smiled the old familiar smile, and
prayed to God to keep
Us safe from harm throughout the
years, and then she went to
