The Saddest Dav
BY ALLIE MAE PITTMAN, 13

BY ALLIE MAE PlTTMAN, 13
Hine Junior High School
There isn't a friend in this whole
world
So true as my own dear mother;
I could search in countries far and
wide,
But I would never find another.
Many is the time she refused to
leave me
To go no matter where;
She stayed right home with her
baby
And gave me her tenderest care.
AS time passed, grew older,
Until the year came when I was
three,
I guess it was the saddest day ever
Or, at least, the saddest to me.
That day was the day God called
her,
The day when we had to part;
I promised to meet her in Heaven
Mother, the queen of my heart!
But didn't cry at all that day,
AS strange as that may be;
For I knew it was Gods will
Only Gods will, you see!
