Wiseman Two Religions A woman sat by a hearthside placeReading a book with a pleasant face,Till a child came up with a childish frownAnd pushed the book saying, “Put it down.”Then the mother, slapping his curly head,Said, “Troublesome child, go off to bed;A great deal of God’s book I must knowTo train you up as a child should go.”And the child went off to bed to cryAnd denounce religion—by and by. Another woman bent o’er a bookWith a smile of joy and an intent look,Till a child came up and joggled her knee,And said of the book, “Put it down—take me.”Then the mother sighed as she stroked his head,Saying softly, “I never shall get it read;But I’ll try by loving to learn His will,And His love into my child instill.”That child went to bed without a sighAnd will love religion—by and by. -- Aquilla Webb To Mother You painted no MadonnasOn chapel walls in Rome,But with a touch divinerYou lived one in your home.You wrote no lofty poemsThat critics counted art,But with a nobler visionYou lived them in your heart.You carved no shapeless marbleTo some high-souled design,But with a finer sculptureYou shaped this soul of mine.You built no great cathedralsThat centuries applaud,But with a grace exquisiteYour life cathedraled God.Had I the gift of Raphael,Or Michelangelo,Oh, what a rare MadonnaMy mother's life would show! -- Thomas W. Fessenden A Mother's Love There are times when only a mother's loveCan understand our tears,Can soothe our disappointsAnd calm all of our fears. There are times when only a mother's loveCan share the joy we feelWhen something we've dreamed aboutQuite suddenly is real. There are times when only a mother's faithCan help us on life's wayAnd inspire in us the confidenceWe need from day to day. For a mother's heart and a mother's faithAnd a mother's steadfast loveWere fashioned by the angelsAnd sent from God above. --Author Unknown For You Mum On Mother's Day I want to tell you, MumThat you're special to the Lord,And you are valued in His eyes,For no one loves you more. And Mum, I want you to knowHow blessed you really are,For I know that it was never easy,Those past years were quite hard. But even through the years gone by,I believe that God was there,Reaching out with loving arms,Though we were unaware. And He is still beside youLonging to be a partOf all the things that interest you,For you're special in His heart. For even in the daily strugglesThat seems to be part of life,The Lord longs to be involvedAnd fill the void inside. So Mum, on this Mother's day,I just want you to knowThat you were always appreciatedAnd that Jesus loves you so. -- M.S.
