Whose love can equal the love of a mother?
Whose the devotion so loyal and true?
Who suffers so much with such joy for another?
Who works with such pleasure as mother for you?
You hail with delight the friendship of others,
You revel in love of the sweetheart you've won.
Yet where do you find a friendship like mother
When death calls and life's done?
Daughter of George A. & Sarah (Crosley) Bower.
