My Modern Mother

“They were lovely ~ all the mothers of the days of long ago ~ With their hair as white as snow; They were middle aged at forty and at fifty donned lace caps, And at sixty clung to shoulder shawls and loved their little naps … But I love the modern mother whoo can share in all the joys, And who understands the problems of her growing girls and boys; She may boast that she is fifty ~ but her heart is twenty-three: My glorious bright-eyed mother, who is keeping young with me.” By Florence Howard.
