The Reading Mother

The Reading Mother

I had a Mother who read me things
That wholesome life to a child's heart brings
Stories that stir with an upward touch
Oh that every Mother 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
