THE READING MOTHER
by Strickland Gillian

I had a mother who read to me,
Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea,
Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth,
Blackbirds stowed in the hold beneath..

I had a mother who read me lays,
Of ancient and gallant and golden days;
Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe,
Which every boy has the right to know..

I had a mother who read me tales,
Of Gêlert the hound of the hills of Wales,
True to his trust till his tragic death,
Faithfulness blent with his final breath..

I had a mother who read me things,
That wholesome life to the boy heart brings,
Stories that stir with an upward touch,
Oh, that each mother of boys were such..

You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be -
I had a mother who read to me..

Happy Mothers Day to all our moms..
