Only One Mother
Poet: Unknown
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky.
Hundreds of shells on the shore together.
Hundreds of birds that go singing by.
Hundreds of bees in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dew drops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of lambs in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn.
But only one mother the wide world over.

Poet: Anna Hempstead Branch
My mother’s hands are cool and fair,
They can do anything.
Delicate mercies hide them there
Like flowers in the spring.

Poet: Lord Tennyson Alfred
My mother was as mild as any saint,
And nearly canonized by all she knew,
So gracious was her tact and tenderness.
