A Mother

When God looked down upon the earth
And chose to put new blessings there,
Gifts from above To show his love,
And lighten earthly joy and care,
He gave the sky the sunset glow;
Gave fragrance to the lily’s blow;
Gave laughter gay To children’s play
And then to every yearning soul
He gave that gift of tenderest worth
- A Mother.
