A Mother's Prayer

Jesus, teach me how to be
Proud of my simplicity.

Sweep the floors, wash the clothes,
Gather for each vase a rose.

Iron and mend a tiny frock,
Keeping one eye on the clock.

Always having time kept free
For childish questions asked of me.

Grant me wisdom Mary had
When she taught her little Lad.

-Catherine Cate Coblentz

A rich child often sits in a poor mother's lap.

(Danish proverb)

As one whom his mother comforteth,
so will I comfort you... Isaiah 66:13

I am more indebted to my mother
than to all others except my God.

--- Mary Lyon

More Than A Queen

Her dress was worn and faded
And her hat was out of date,
And her face was growing wrinkled,
Aged from sacrifices great.

Just an ordinary woman
Who had known too much of care,
Yet the little brood about her
Saw an angel standing there.

How they loved that faded bonnet,
How they harkened to her voice!
And the ripple of her laughter
Made each little heart rejoice.

More than queen and more than goddess,
Oft she ruled and loved and taught,
While the honor that they gave her,
Men have often vainly sought.

Hers was wondrous beauty,
Viewed through eyes that saw with love,
Hers was wisdom of the ages
Equaled just by God above.

Some there were who called her common,
Even passed her with a stare,
But the little brood about her
Saw an angel standing there.

More than queen and more than goddess,
Through her life was filled with care,
Yet the little brood about her
Saw an angel wondrous fair.
