Long years of love and service brave;

There was no weight of hurt or erre
Too heavy for her strength to beat ;
She followed where you went ;
Her courage and her love eublime
You could depend on all the time.
No day or night she set apart
On which to open wide her heart
And welcome you within ;
„There was no hour you would riot be
First in her thought and memory,
Though you were black as cin I
Though skies were gray or skies

Not once has she forgotten you,
Let every day be Mother's Lay le,
With love and roses strew her way,
