To a Baby

 

To a Baby *

by Anonymous

WHERE did you come from, Baby dear? 
'Out of the everywhere, into here. 

Where did you get your eyes so blue? 

'Out of the sky, as I came through.'

What makes the light in them sparkle and spin? 

'Some of the starry spikes left in.'

What makes your forehead so smooth and high? 

'A soft hand stroked it as I came by.' 

Where did you get that little tear? 

'I found it waiting, when I got here.' 

What makes your cheek like a warm, white rose? 

'I saw something better than anyone knows.' 

Whence that three-cornered smile of bliss? 

'Three angels gave me at once a kiss.' 

Where did you get this pearly ear? 

'God spoke and it came out to hear.'

The Carnation - A Poem

 The Carnation - A Poem 

By Effie Crawford 

Of all the many flowers 
That bloom for us each year, 
We love the sweet carnation 
That stands for Mother dear.

On Mother's Day we wear it 

To honor her and show 

How very much we love her, 

So all the world may know.

So let us keep the flower, 

Though it be white or red, 

The emblem of a mother's love, 

The living and the dead.

Mother - A Poem

 Mother 

By Annie Winfrey Meek 

My Mother dear is sweeter far 
Than all the lovely ladies are. 
Kindness is written on her face; 
She scatters joy in every place; 

She makes, wherever she may be, 

A glad and happy place for me. 

Her hands are swift, her heart is 

High honor ever is her due; 

My love is hers, and year by year 

She seems more lovely and more dear.
