My Mothers Hands


A pair of gentle hands that smoothed life’s path. 

And led a child's unwilling steps aright; 

That bravely strove to ease my pains and cares -

That my mothers hands could make my troubles light.


Through school days, too, her hands were always there 

To seek my comfort or to share my fame; 

Their tender class held more than mother-love - 

Told me I must always "play the game”


And now, no longer young, and worn with toil, 

Yet dearer still to one who understands; 

‘Tis I who mean to lift all cares, all trials, 

And give them rest and peace - my mothers hands.
