Mother’s Hands
Dear gentle hands have stroked my hair
And cooled my brow,
Soft hands that
pressed me close
And seemed to
Know somehow
Those fleeting moods and erring thoughts
That cloud my day,
Which quickly melt beneath their sufferage
And pass away.
No other balm for earthly pain
Isn’t half so sure,
No sweet caress so filled with love
Nor half so pure,
No other soul can close akin that understands,
No touch that brings such perfect peace as Mother’s Hands.
