It never comes to Christmas but I
think about the times
We used to say? our pennies ami
our r.ickeis and our dimes,
Artd we bunched them ali together,
even little baby brother
Put in something tar the present that
we aiways gave to mother.
We began to talk about it v?ry early
in Decembv1',
Twas a very serais matter to us
ch'iclren, I remembi",
And we used to whis^n " '">• our
suggestions to each oiiter,
For by nothing c!ieip and tawdry
could we sttow our lo/e for
mother.
Hers mur.f he r sift of beauty, ht to
symbaiiie her ways;
It must represent the swe- tnassand
tlie love that marked her days.
It must be the best our money, all
combined, had power to buy,
And be somethiag that she longed
for; nothing else would satisfy.
Then it mattered not the token, once
the purchase had been made.
St was smuggled home and hidden
and with other treasures laid,
And we p'a eJ our present proudly
in her tap on Christmas day,
And we mhos here J her with kisses
ant! iSau !: dhertearsaway.
It nev?r comcs t > C'lrlj imus !,u! I
thirk a'.cut th? t mes
We used to save our pennies ?rJ
our nH- fs and our d m?s.
And the only folks I envy at 3 tha
sisters and the brothers
Who still have thej i ec;ou.> pnv:I« ^e
of buying for the;r mothers.
