I wonder if the-sun will shine
Through drifting mists of tender grey,
While perfumed breezes whisper low,
“It’s. Mother's Day:””
And as we wander back again
Across the years where fancies stray,
Will memory chant in sweet refrain,
“It's Mother's Day?”’
I wonder if Mother’s Day isn't the most beautifully significant and important one of all those which we observe.
] wonder how you will spent Mother’s Day; will happy
memories stir within the deep pool of your heart, thrilling and
enriching the passing hours? Will scraps of half forgotten
poems and songs float about you like golden butterflies from
the land of long ago? . think we might share a few. Remember this one? a
“Who ran to lift me when . fell
And kissed the place to make it well? My Mother.”
Of course we'll all be singing Mother McCree and, That
Old Irish Mother of Mine—-and was there ever a sweeter bit
of descriptive writing than this?
‘In her eyes there's the blue of Killarney,
On her cheek there's the rose of Kildare,
On her lips there's a wee bit of Blarney,
And the snow of Athlone in her hair.”’
Critics remind us that these songs are imperfect, poor
poetry, etc., but what do we care? There may be never an
lrisher in our family tree, at all-at all, but we love the sentiment expressed in these old songs and we sing them on Mctheste stes%s ot ioe tleate sree
