Many loving hands are kind a.id cood to me. As the toilsome homeward journey I pursue, But I miss my mother as the days go by. For there is no friend like mother, noae so true. Swiftly now 1 pass the milestones one by one, By and by the glory gates with joy I'll see, Then among rejoicing friends in that sweet home, Will my o>vn dear mother gladly wel come me. MRS.
