The best that money could buy was gotten in those last rites, For she was their mother, they said, and they could have but one. But the pain of parting was never so poignant As now when they entered the portals of their lost parent Whose soul was more alive to them than ever it bad been in life. They recalled the toilsome hands that never tired To do the most lowly deeds in their behalf, ‘The sleepless nights that were hers in vigilance, The skimping and saving that they might have, ‘The self sacriftees that were made without a murmur. And they—-what had they done in return? They had demanded much—oh, so much, Knowing that ft would come forth, no matter how hard the struggle. ‘They left her alone times without number While they sought pleasure in other parts. They had chided her for her “old-fashioned ways” When she rebuked them, Or tried to make them see the sensible view in the scheme of things. The gross neglect she had often suffered ‘They never realized until now, when she needed (hem no more. ‘The still, small voice whispered ceaselessly in those empty rooms, Conscience had struck, and they wept. ‘Tears of wisdom flowed for the precious pearl They had held too lightly though they wore it out. But somewhere from out the space the soul of her cried, “Do not grieve, but let my passing be an awakening. Streteh out the helping hand to him or her who struggles as I have. “Give of yourself in full measure to the sad, the spiritless, “Who do the big work of the world. “You will thus pay to me in full, “For you will then be what I hoped for you “and my going will mean your coming into a bigger vision of things worth while.” And the spirit of her was forever over them to du as she would have And ene comfort came in their remorse, That the one being who never dies is a mother For even in death she gives and calls forth the best. 1 What to Do Un The Doctor Comes By Charlotte C.
