Indeed you’re a blessing
From the heavens above,
And all would be bright
If I had your love.
And while sweet breezes blow
Over life’s rough way,
I could sit and write your name
In my humble essays.
A SMILE
Every smiling face,
Or even jolly motions,
Doesn’t prove that one’s sorrows
Are not deeper than the ocean.
But there is great value, in a smile,
It can save a poor man’s life,
When I go home it’s worth while,
For I meet a smiling wife.
MOTHER’S DAY
I received a flower
On the twelfth of May,
It was a token
Of Mother’s day.
With petals snow-white
And fragrance so sweet,
Thou art my hope
That in heaven we’ll meet.
My mind wandered back
In a childish way
My soul then reposed!
But seemed to say:
Oh! the spirit spoke
As I did pray,
In the heart of this flower
Shineth Mother’s day.
