• ■■ \ As little children love their mother best— One for the fairy tales at set of sun; One for the gifts,, the toys and sweetmeats; one . Dor the tender good-night kiss, and one, the .least. Just for the warmth and sweetness of the breast — And as the mother gives her all to each. Unstinted, far as love may reach. Content though thanks be only half expressed: So God loves, so God gives, misunderstood By our dim faith, our so blind gratitude. Till, as young sea-birds, trying flight near shore. Gain wing, though pleased with shallows just before. And find wide ocean and vast sky their home, At last with God’s love face to face /. we come. , ■ Lilian Budleigh Minor.
