Over my heart, in the days that are flown,
No love like my mother-love ever has shown,
No other worship abides and endures—
Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours. — Elizabeth Akers Allen
Say hi to moms everywhere!

My grandfather’s clock
was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more. It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born
And was always his pleasure and pride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the Old— Man— died
Chorus:
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick Tock Tick Tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick Tock Tick
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old— man— died.
He watched as its pendelum rocked to and fro
Many hours he had spent as a boy
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy
For it struck twenty-four
As he entered through the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Chorus:
My Grandfather said that of those he could hire
Not a servant so faithful he found
For it kept perfect time
And its only desire
At the close of each week to be wound
And it kept in its place
With a smile upon its face
And its hands never hung by its side
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Chorus:

Good morning, Yorkie. Thank you for the "Flower of Friendship" link.
"And, if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendship's flower will bloom for you.

I Love Everyone's Graphics and Contributions to the Thread, and am Sending Wishes to All for a Good Day. It's Beautiful Weather Here, and I Spent an Enjoyable Time Outside this Morning Gathering Kindling into Piles to Process into Wood for the Stove. There are Squirrels and Birds in Abundance, and Spots Here and there of Remaining Snow from the Surprise Snowstorm we had in this Area. (This was the Only Snow this Winter!)
FRiendship Hugs to All!
