Mother’s Are...
Blowers of noses and washers of ears,
Smoothers of bumped spots and wipers of tears,
Bathers of babies and umpires of spats,
Finders of boots and mittens and hats,
Helpers with lessons and makers of beds,
Shakers of dust clothes and combers of heads,
Button-sew-oners and winders of clocks,
Menders of dresses and darners of socks,
Tellers of stories and readers of books,
Doctors of heartaches and hearer of prayers,
Generals directing all family affairs,
Tenders of home fires and builders of men,
(Oh, for the gift of an adequate pen!)
