A MOTHER SPEAKS
H. Howard Bigger


They call me just a mother
And I'm proud to bear the name.
| may not make the headlines
And / may not rise to fame.
To some, my work seems rather
dull,
And hard at times / know,
With life a weary round of toll,
As seasons come and go.
They call me just mother
But I do not ask for praise,
For in my humble household tasks,
/ find thousand ways
To make my home shrine where
trust
And faith and beauty dwell;
A place where / can proudly play
My part-and play it well.
They call me just mother,
But they do not know the joys
That come with doing helpful
things
For husbands, girls and boys,
While many folks may seek sue
cess
AS restlessly they roam,
I'm proud to do my very best
Each daylight here at home.

MOTHERS DAY
All through the night / dreamed
not of earthly things
But of things eternal, I saw that
city not made by hands,
Where walls are of jasper, little
children played
And friends say with angelic
voices,
Waiting there for me was - My
Mother,
Then / awoke and I knew it was
Mothers Day"
God thought to give the sweetest
thing in His Almighty power to
earth and deeply pondering what
it should be, one hour in the fond

weighing every other He moved
the gates of heaven apart and gave
| to earth Mother"
