Thistle Down

By Ethel

Our Daughters

Today...we'd like to speak our love,
To our lovely daughters, too,
How delighted through the years we are,
For being a part...of you.

Your precious life came here to earth,
With reasons caused to be.
We've taught you always to do good,
And watched you tenderly.

We've seen you grow before our eyes,
In development to learn.
And always every care of yours,
Has been our deep concern.

We've left our foot-steps in the sand,
To guide you in life's race.
So beckoning pitfalls...full of sin,
Could not impair your pace.

We've sought for strength and courage,
And for guidance from above.
For deepest understanding,
That could manifest our love.

It builds us up to heights above,
When your efforts, they are just.
When with your humble feelings,
You are true to every trust.

As Mothers...with a deep desire,
Where the joyful light portrays.
We see you in your actions,
Of which...we sing your praise.


E.P. 1908 - 1989
