"We are lonely since our mother died,
Tho friends and kindred gather near,
We cannot check the rising sigh
Nor stay the silent, heartfelt fear,
Of early friends she was the best,
Our youthful erring steps to guide;
Oh, chide us not because we weep---
We are lonely since our mother died." (Contributed by Karla Davis Stevens, #48984504)
