Tribute To Mother by John Greenleaf Whittie /art by Pino


Art by Pino


A picture memory brings to me;
I look across the years and see
Myself beside my mother's knee.
I feel her gentle hand restrain
My selfish moods, and know again
A child's blind sense of wrong and pain.
But wiser now,
a man gray grown,
My childhood's needs are better known.
My mother's chastening love I own.
John Greenleaf Whittier
(1807-1892)
