"TOGETHER, WE CAN"

 

THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO MY MOTHER, LAURA LOLLIE SCHWARTZ, who spent her last Mother's Day with me last year.

"No hardship, pain nor jealous hate, can dim the love we share, my Mother and I."   (Author Unknown)

Mother’s Hands

Dear gentle hands have stroked my hair

And cooled my brow,

Soft hands that pressed me close

And seemed to know somehow

Those fleeting moods and erring thoughts

That cloud my day,

Which quickly melt beneath their suffrage

And pass away.

No other balm for earthly pain

Is half so sure,

No sweet caress so filled with love

Nor half so pure,

No other soul so close akin that understands,

No touch that brings such perfect peace as Mother’s hands.
