MEN THAT MOTHERS MAKE
[Welland Telegraph December 10, 1903]
Show me that boy that nightly
bows at mother’s knee to pray,
Who wears her golden precepts in
his heart,
Who lays his hand in hers and seeks
her counsel day by day,
Whose path in life from hers lies
not apart,
And thus his horoscope I’ll cast:
“His name will live among the last.”
Show me the youth whose good
right arm encircles mother’s form,
Whose lips fear not to kiss her
faded cheek,
Who lives for her to shield her and
protect her from all harm,
Who comforts her when she is old
and weak,
And in the coming years I see
A man for all eternity
Show me the man whose life is pure,
that man who claims success;
Show me the man who treads the
the ways of fame:
That man whose deeds adorn the
name of truth and uprightness,
Whose soul knows not the tarnished
blush of shame,
And in his glory thus arrayed-
Behold a man that mother made.
-L.P. Hext.
