MOTHER, by                    
First Line: Mother sits in the old armchair
Last Line: Children and mother, a loyal pair.
Subject(s): Aging; Mothers; Mothers & Daughters


Mother sits in the old armchair,
Great-grandmother of children fair,
She has seen of life here and there,
Hardships endured we would not dare,
And still, a sweet smile lingers there
On her face -- crowned with silver hair;
And she all of our trouble shares
To ease crossing the bridge of cares;
Children and mother, a loyal pair.
