Mother's Home

A boy is born
         his journey begun
By his side
         walks only one

“Like father, like son”
         we often hear
But when needs arrive
         it’s Mother dear

So tall and strong
         standing on his own
With his mother’s love
         he is never alone

He takes a wife
         has children to raise
Still all he seeks
         is his mother’s praise

Now she has aged,
         grown weak and frail
Her son now seeking
         his homeward trail
    (For all the Mothers)
