A poem for mother and child -
Mother and Child
by Eugene Field
"One night a tiny dewdrop fell
Into the bosom of a rose,--
"Dear little one, I love thee well,
Be ever here thy sweet repose!"
Seeing the rose with love bedight,
The envious sky frowned dark, and then
Sent forth a messenger of light
And caught the dewdrop up again.
"Oh, give me back my heavenly child,--
My love!" the rose in anguish cried;
Alas! the sky triumphant smiled,
And so the flower, heart-broken, died."
She is the parental granddaughter to Jesse Early Herd and Nancy Jane Welch.
She is the sister to Allie, Lonnie, Otis, Ida, Walter, Everett, Amy, Nettie, Ernest, and Flossie.
