Poems by Mildred J. Douglass (1908-1988) My Home Dear white house at the top of the hill I've left you now in sorrow still I knew the time would come as we all know When time marches on and we must go To find a smaller home as it is best To shorten our labor and have more rest
The memories linger on of running feet Running through the house and down the street Hollering and laughing of children gay While they run around and play
Many years have come and gone But the memories linger on The boys all to manhood have grown And established homes of their own
Pardon all my mother tears For although I'm happy here I sometimes long for the yester years When little voices soft but clear Whispered softly: I love you, Mother dear.
--- 1974 by Mildred J. Douglass |
