In memory for Mother's Day

THY MOTHER by Kate Hogan

Lead thy mother tenderly
Down life's steep decline;
Once her arm was thy support,
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deep lines of care?
Think--it was her toil for thee
Left that record there.

Ne'er forget her tireless watch
Kept by day and night,
Taking from her step the grace,
From her eyes the light:
Cherish well her faithful heart,
Which through weary years
Echoed with its sympathy,
All thy smiles and tears.

Thank God for thy mother's love,
Guard the priceless boon;
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.
When thy graceful tenderness
Loses power to save,
Earth will hold no dearer spot,
Than thy mother's grave.
