Show eiu tmm SACRinCF.. I (By Berton Rrolej) Her children were her all-in-all. She gave her tlmo and thought to them, Her dreams, her visions great ami Her heart's deep love she brought to them, Unselfishly her strength she gave To make them snugger, cosier She made herself a willing slave That they might find life rosier She gave up all the things that make lAfe merrier and breezier, Believing that she thus might make ll'-r children's progress easier; She scrimped and saved and tolled and drudged Through years and years laborious, And by the neighbors she was judged A mother meritorious. But when her labors are reviewed Ylth calm judicial clarity. We find she's raised a 'selfish brood Sans thoughtf ulness or charity. Her children took but never gave And selfishness thus grew in them. Self-sacrifice made her a slave And only served to ruin them! (Copyright. 192L'. NBA Service) |
