Helen's Corner - Book I

Mother

T'is said for a friend, there is none other
         Who stands by us, like a mother
It's true, my friends, true indeed.
         She's always near, in time of need.

When sickness comes and death is near,
         She helps us all; we need not fear,
She strives and struggles, yet wears a smile,
         She does not show the wear of trial.

So ber in mind my lasting friend
         You need nor on my words depend,
But stop and think and you will see,
         She fits these words as writ by me.

Dedicated to My Best Friend
         My Mother.
