Our mother is the dearest one. So faithful, patient and so kind Besides her surely, there is none. How dearly we remember her, In infancy and childhood days ! Her name was ever upermost When anxious in her childish ways. And oftener did we hear those words Than we did any other From out the garden, yard, and house Ring out with "Where is mother ," She is the centre of the home, The one on whom we all rely In trouble, sickness or advice In all the ventures we would try. She is lawyer, judge and jury, Ever true to counsel and decide Every case of family discord, That may in her court be tried, She is self-same to every one And father, sister; brother, Will, in their deep perplexities, All inquire "Where is mother ?" Most willingly she makes herself The seamstress, housemaid, nurse and cook And seasons victuals just to taste And smooths and tidies every nook. So patiently she wears away Her life with hard domestic cares, Which puts the wrinkles on her face And powders white so many hairs.^ If we'd but. realize her care3 \Ve'd never cause her another, But strive to make her burden light And seldom ask "Where is mother ?" ays lends a helping hand, :ver ready for our sake, do often her neglect would scarce another; our conscience smite us then, >*d cry out "Where is mother ?"
