TO MY SON
Soems and most beautiful flowers are often found in out-of-the-way places Here is one
Do you know that your soul is of my soul, such part, That you seem to be fibre and core of my heart?
None other can pain me as you, dear, can do; None other can please me or praise me as you
Remember the world will be quick with its blame If shadow or stain ever darken your na so true, The world will judge largely of ”mother” by you
Be yours then the task, if task it shall be, To force this proud world to do hoe to me; Be sure it will say, when its verdict you've won
”She reaps as she sowed, lo, this man is her son”
