"There is a kind of man who curses his father, and does not bless his mother." (Prov. 30:11)

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 dustcloths 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,

Judges and juries of conduct and looks,

Doctors of heartaches and hearers of prayers,

Generals directing all family affairs,

Tenders of home fires and builders of men,

Oh, for the gift of an adequate pen!

(By Floyd Wood)

Oh, if we could only adequately tell the worth of mothers!
