Mother’s Day

I received a flower
On the twelfth of May,
It was a token
Of Mother’s day.

With petals snow-white
And fragrance so sweet,
Thou art my hope
That in heaven we’ll meet.

My mind wandered back
In a childish way
My soul then reposed!
But seemed to say:

Oh! the spirit spoke
As I did pray,
In the heart of this flower
Shineth Mother’s day.
