I would like to share a sample of what you may find in these books although this particular poem is not in either of these two books.

Only a mother

 I observed  a mother and could not understand

How so much can be transmitted through those gentle hands

Her ability to transmit patience and tenderness

And her saying to a child I love you through a smile and caress

How every sound that from her child that she hears

She is able to comprehend and put into words

I could not understand how every time her baby fusses and cries

Her ears are able to interpret and to analyze

And when her baby is sick and not well

How she knows the doctor what to tell

I could not understand why beauty, charm and grace

Are always in season and never out of place

And throughout life she continues to impart

Strength of character from a noble true and loving heart
