In 1907, Miss Anna Jarvis arranged for a church service to honor all mothers, to
be held on the anniversary of her own mother's death. The idea caught on, first
in Philadelphia, then in other cities. "Mother's Day" became so popular that on
May 8, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation making the
second Sunday in May a day for "public expression of our love and reverence
for the mothers of our country."

The Mother Sings
by Eleanor Farjeon
Rockaby, my baby,
Slumber if you can.
I wonder what you're going to be
When you're grown a man.
If you are a monarch
On a gold and silver throne,
With all the lands of East and West
For to call your own,
I know you'll be the greatest monarch
Ever was heard.
If you are a poet
With the magic of the word,
A swan's quill to write with
And a voice like a bird,
I know you'll be the greatest poet
Ever was heard.
But whether you're a monarch
And make your bride a queen,
Or whether you're a poet
With men's hearts to glean,
I know you are the sweetest baby
Ever was seen.
Rockaby, my baby,
Slumber if you can,
I wonder what you're going to be
When you're a grown a man.

Night and Morning
by Dorothy Aldis
The morning sits outside afraid
Until my mother draws the shade;
Then it bursts in like a ball,
Splashing sun all up the wall.
And the evening is not night
Until she's tucked me in just right
And kissed me and turned out the light.
Oh, if my mother went away
Who would start the night and day?
