Mom at Easter, 1965.

Mother

Time never, nor space, could ever erase

 the picture that's hung in my heart

 of that dear, lovely lady's sweet beckoning face,

 expressions will never depart.

The smile that was gleaming when e'r I knew joy,

 the bitter tears when I  knew sorrow,

 The frown when I, evil task would employ,

 the hope of much gladder tomorrows.

 Whenever I failed there was naught but despair,

 in achievement was nothing but pride,

 and no artist's brush can ever compare

 with the picture of her, here inside.

 Glowing with sun-rays of love, just for me,

 in every chore and all duty.

 All that I am, I owe to her now,

 may gratitude never diminish.

 Because that I feel in Heaven above,

 angels whispering to one another,

can find among burning turns of their love,

 none with the devotion of Mother.        

Written by my mother, Marian Neil Hines (1936- 2008) for her mother, Ruby Allison
