We hope you find some confort in this poem: MY MOTHER (Author Unknown) Who fed me from her gentle breast? And hushed me in her arms to rest, And on my cheek sweet kisses prest? MY MOTHER! When sleep forsook my open eyes, Who was it sung sweet hush a byes, And rocked me that I should not cry? MY MOTHER! Who sat and watched my infant head, When sleeping on my cradle bed? And tears of sweet affection shed? MY MOTHER! When pain and sickness made me cry, Who gazed upon my heavy eye? And wept for fear that I should die? MY MOTHER! Who dressed me in clothes just the right way? And taught me pretty how to play, And minded all I had to say? MY MOTHER! Who ran to help me when I fell? And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the place to make it well? MY MOTHER! And can I ever cease to be Appreciative for all the sacrifices that came from thee, Who was so very kind to me? MY MOTHER! Ah! No, the thought I cannot bear, And if God please my life to spare, I hope I shall reward thy care, MY MOTHER! And when I see thee hang thy head, “Twill be my turn to watch thy bed, And tears of sweet affection shed, MY MOTHER! My love for thee will always last Long after you from this earth you have past! Because of Christ’s sacrifice, in Heaven I look for thee so fast! MY MOTHER!
