Mother to her Son

This poem of a mother is copied from Good Housekeeping Magazine 1928 issue. I just thought it's a wonderful poem of a mother, thinking of her fellow mothers with a son; like Mary Our Mother. It's a beautiful poem to reflect on Mary's life as a Mother to Our Savior Jesus Christ; and to meditate on her life as a role model to us, mothers of this world.

Mother

I wonder if all mother's of small sons, 

Grow as perplexed as I have often grown?

Do they, through lack of wisdom, stand dismayed,

And falteringly face each day alone?

I think of all the mother's of the earth, 

I wonder, sometimes, would they, too, be glad 

To know how Mary of old Nazareth 

With daily wisdom reared her little lad, 

I know God spoke to her through those brief years 

Of all things that concerned their precious One, 

And when the grave eyes questioned, surely God 

Helped Mary answer well her little Son. 

Could I have come some summer afternoon 

And sat on the low doorstep at her feet, 

While Jesus and his younger brothers played 

Upon the bright grass by the shady street, 

I would have learned from her; oh, many things, 

I think i would have grown so very wise 

That I could answer truthfully at last 

The thousand questions in these upturned eyes. 

And here's another poem for Mary; Our Queen of May
