Mother
By Clara Jack Burton
There’s a word known as faith and love,
And hope is a word oft’ repeated.
They all bring a tho’t of these things above;
As we hear them on our hearts elated.
But there is a word that embodies them all,
Faith, Love, and sweet hope put together,
The world and her sages it seems to enthrall;
It’s the sacred, the wonderword “Mother”
