[bodytext] => She never closed her eyes in sleep, Till we were all in bed In party nights till we came home. , Se always sat and read We lttle thought about it then , When we young and gay How much the mother worried, When we children were away We only she knew she never slept, When we were out at night And that she waited just to know , That we'd come home alright Why sometimes whe we'd stay away, Till one or two or three It seemed to us mother, Heard the turning of the key For aways when we stepped inside. She'd call and we'd reply But we were all to young back then, to understand just why Until the last one had returned , She always lept a light For mother could't sleep until, She'd kissed us all goodnight She had to know that we were safe, before she went to rest She seemed to feel the world might harm, The one she loved best And once she said " when you are grown to women and to men Perhaps i'll sleep the whole night through " It may be different then And so it seemed that night and day , we knew a mothers care That always when we got back home, We'd find her waiting there Then came the night that we were called, Togather around her bed " The children are all with you now " The kindly doctor said And in her eyes there gleemed again , That old time tender light That told she had been waiting, Just to know we were alright She smiled the old familar smile . And prayed to god To keep us safe from harm, Throughout the years And Then She Went To Sleep [comments] => 0 [counter] => 140 [topic] => 23 [informant] => rainny14 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )
