A MOTHER'S HEART, by CHRISTOPHER BANNISTER First Line: Never was prideful wealth, power, or fame Last Line: The unselfishness that is a mother's heart. Subject(s): Mothers | |||
NEVER was prideful wealth, power, or fame That glanced not back beyond its haughtiness With tenderest longing and a welling eye Unto those earlier days, when a clear flame Burned steadfast on the hearth of home, to bless A past that knew no pomp, to smile and sigh Wistfully for that better, finer part: The unselfishness that is a mother's heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY MOTHER'S HANDS by ANDREW HUDGINS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN THE 25TH YEAR OF MY MOTHER'S DEATH by JUDY JORDAN THE PAIDLIN' WEAN by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BLASTING FROM HEAVEN by PHILIP LEVINE A THREAD OF HAIR by CHRISTOPHER BANNISTER |
