THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
ORIGIN OF MOTHER’S DAY
Back in the dark days of the Civil
War a little white-haired woman, a
mother herself, carried her one mes
sage to the boys in blue and gray—
“ Write home to mother.”
The war over, the little woman,
Mrs. Anna M. Jarvis, carried on her
work of “Write home to mother.”
Upon her death her daughter, An
na Jarvis, took up her mother’s work,
founding Mother’s Day and the
Mother’s Day International Associa
tion.
This day is as much of an Amer
ican legal holiday as Fourth of July
or Christmas. Several years ago
Congress passed a resolution offi
cially setting aside the second Sun
day in May as Mother’s Day
The slogan of Mother’s Day is:
“In honor of the best mother who
ever lived —the Mother of Your
Heart.”
MY ROSE
Today the rose I wear is red
Next year it may be white;
Because the steps are heavy now
That once were quick and light.
Her vision is no longer clear
It once was very bright;
Her hair that once was raven black
Is now a snowy white.
I try to lend a helping hand
To make her burdens light;
For this I know ’twill not be long
Before my rose is white.
And while upon this earth I roam
In all the good I do;
I want no praise for myself
I owe it all to you.
And mother dear, I’ll tell you this
Before we have to part;
That you have made the roses bloom
Within a wayward heart.
—Selected.
FOR MOTHER
For all the love you’ve given me,
For all the prayers you’ve prayed,
For all the tears and all the care,
The sacrifice you’ve made
For all I am or can become,
For all in me that’s true,
1 want to thank you, Mother mine,
For all to you is due:
And to the God who loves you
Upon my knees I pray
To send a wealth of happiness
To you this Mother’s Day.
—Selected.
