Quote

I read my Friend McCall's blog the other day and she posted this Poem/quote that I really loved.
So here I am putting it on mine.

LEST WE FORGET
She came tonight as I sat alone

The girl that I use to be...

And she gazed at me with her earnest eye

And questioned reproachfully:

Have you forgotten the many plans

And hopes that I had for you?

The great career, the splendid fame

All wonderful things to do?

Where is the mansion of stately height

With all of it's gardens rare?

The silken robes that I dreamed for you

And the jewels for your hair?

And as she spoke I was very sad,

For I wanted her pleased with me...

This slender girl from the shadowy past

The girl that I use to be.

So, gently arising, I took her hand,

And guided her up the stair

Where peacefully sleeping, my babies lay

Innocent, sweet and fair.

And I told her that these are my only gems,

And precious they are to me;

That silken robe is my motherhood

Of costly simplicity.

And my mansion of stately height is love,

And the only career I know;

Is serving each day in these sheltered walls

For the dear ones who come and go.

And as I spoke to my shadowy guest,

She smiled through her tears at me,

And I saw that the woman that I am now

Pleased the girl that I use to be.
