"THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH THEE." ''HONOUR THY MOTHER''

MY JEWELS

God and Life have given me Jewels More precious than rubies or pearls; More treasured than sapphires or diamonds ; They are my boys and girls.

As I have gathered my jewels, And watched them sparkle and grow, It has brought me such happiness That only a mother can know.

I have jealously guarded my jewels, Have called them my own through the years; And will always have the memory Of their baby laughter and tears.

Other settings will hold my jewels, Other hands will help and guide ; But I have my happiness Of walking by their side.

I have loved and guided them, And no matter where they roam They will not forget the settings Of Mother Love and home. Lenna Beal Dennis, 1949.
