MOTHER, by ROBERT W. JAMES
First Line: Down the highways and byways of yesteryears
Last Line: To your one and only mother.
Subject(s): Mothers
First Line: Down the highways and byways of yesteryears
Last Line: To your one and only mother.
Subject(s): Mothers
Down the highways and byways of yesteryears
Trek the memories of friends and others;
But the loveliest thoughts of all the rest
Are the thoughts of one, our Mother.
Have you stopped to think of the friends you have?
Loved ones, and maybe a lover;
But of all the rest there is only one
That you can call your Mother.
From a babe she cared for and loved you;
There never was another
Who fretted and worried like her
But the one you call your Mother.
Now time has not been kind to her,
Her age, her smile can't cover
So think awhile and give a thought
To your one and only Mother.
