THREE THINGS, by                    
First Line: Three things there be that nearly break my heart
Last Line: Here waiting, waiting--and my mother gone!
Subject(s): Mothers


THREE things there be that nearly break my heart;
The thought of Christmas and my mother's part
In all its sweetness; the soft prayer she said
And I beside her ready for my bed;
And her last kiss at night. Woe's me, alone
Here waiting, waiting--and my mother gone!
