Mother's Day, 2013

Rudyard Kipling is cited as having once said, “God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.”  So to remember this day, I would like to pass along Mr. Kipling's poem on the off-chance not everyone has seen it.  I hope all the mothers in my little circle have a great day!

Mother o’ Mine

If I were hanged on the highest hill,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

I know whose love would follow me still,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

I know whose tears would come down to me,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were damned of body and soul,

I know whose prayers would make me whole,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
