GIVE
THE SMILES TO MOTHER
If you have a smile for Mother,
Give it now.
If you have a kindly word,
Speak it now.
She’ll not need it when the angels
Greet her at the golden gate;
Give the smiles while she is living,
If you wait, ‘’twill be too late.
If you have a flower for Mother,
Pluck it now.
Place it gently on her bosom,
Print a kiss upon her brow.
What cares she when life is over,
For the flowers that bloom below,
She will have her share up yonder,
Scattered at her feet galore.
