WEEKLY CONTEST WEEK 10 - POETRY GAME - DAY 5 - Reward Pool 50 STEEM by @jerry368
MY MOTHER
Who sat and watched my infant head
When sleeping on my cradle bed,
And tears of sweet affection shed?
my mother.
When pain and sicknesade me cry,
Who gazed upon my heavy eye,
And wept for fear that I should die?
my mother.
Who taught my infant lips to pray
And love God's holy book and day,
And walk in wisdom's pleasant way?
my mother.
And can I ever seize to be
Affectionate and kind to thee,
Who was so very kind to me?
my mother?
Ah, no! The thought I cannot bear,
And if God please my life to spare
I hope I shall reward thy care,
my mother.
When thou art feeble, old and grey,
My healthy arm shall be the stay,
And I will soothe thy pains away,
my mother.
