The Meaning of Mother

Mother means a warm hearth fire

On a stormy night.

Mother means a cradle soft,

The glow of candlelight.

Mother means a cookie jar,

A glass of crimson jell.

It means loaves of crusty bread,

A home where love may dwell.

It brings to mind the glory

Of daffodils in spring

And conjures up a picture

Where memories will cling.

The name possesses beauty,

Which nothing ever mars,

A wealth of love and kindness.

  The constancy of stars.
