LONGING

I am longing. longing longing For mothers love and care; For the words that stopped all grieving And the smiles so sweet and rare: Eor the hearth that knew no by-ways Save to loves unstinted store, kA6 as years press on. dear mother, l am longing more and more.

A POEM FOR MOTHERS DAY
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Thus eyer let take hearts into our nanos And give of all the that yearnS within To rectify wrongs that are in other anos' To see the melting of this hate begin We know the that led through our youth We know the sacrifices that she made. We know the path she fashioned for us to les truth; We watched her fears and longings softly fade But let us not forget those others while we share This Mothers Day with our beloved one But, rather think special, hopeful tender prayer That may be relayed by the knowing sun And through storms and sea swept winds to voice Our sincere sadness for the mothers plight For in our land today each mother does rejoice AS over there the mother weepS in fright So-let us draw the closer feeling friend And let eyes remember not to dry Until that other world has made ot tears an end, Has sung loves peaceful lullaby.
