| Your children grow from you apart,
Afar and still afar; And yet it should rejoice your heart To see how glad they are; In school and sport, in work and play, And last, in wedded bliss How others claim with joy to-day The lips you used to kiss. Your children distant will become,
But though you are estranged almost,
The Mother by Robert William Service |
