OF INTEREST IN THE
SOCIAL REALM
A SOLDIER’S MOTHER
(By Lee Shippey)
I rive him to his country, with the
glow
Of youth and lofty purpose on his
brow;
:,ly heart is aching, yet I know, some
how,
I should be sadder if he would not go.
Think me not hard, you selfish ones
and blind,
That I can part thus with my darling
one.
Love him? Yes, just as Mary loved
the Son
She gave to die, as mine may, for
mankind!
Lives are not measured by their spans
of years,
I taught him from his childhood, but
great aims;
I taught hijn to rfivere tin noble
names
Of those who died to lessen human
tears.
And now I keep the faith—my eyes
are dry—
And though I pray he may come safe
through all,
If, fighting for humanity, he fall,
What—what might he have lived for
half so high?
