THE, LOVING STITCHES.
(By JAMES McCHEsNEY
prick ETTl

The loving stitches that mother took
When we were children small,
To mend our little coats and shirts.
Stockings, dresses all,
Recalled In tender memory
When at home on recent trip,
An old shirt had discarded,
But 10! she sewed the rip,
And mended Il all neat and strong
Az in the days Of old.
And oh! those loving stitches
Worth more to me than gold.
For years have thought myself q man.
But am still . boy to mother,
And will never be full grown.
When IL cOnles her time for mending,
She will take with old time care,
A sock or shirt soon loving hands
Will put the stitches there.
How l love those little patches.
And ! salt them with my tears.
For they're mothers loving stitches,
CaFing for me through the years.
