To all mothers and mothers-to-be, this is for you.
Mother's Timetable
On Monday,
wash your heart and rinse your cares away,
On Tuesday,
iron out harsh thoughts, till they are smooth and light-hearted,
On Wednesday,
dust tired thoughts, and polish up your smiles,
On Thursday,
sort out kindly deeds and place them in neat piles,
On Friday,
think of friends and pleasant things to do,
On Saturday,
clear up your cares, and mend up moods of blue,
On Sunday,
look around and see what you have done,
And pray the week has been well spent, and another well begun.
Words for mothers from the 19th and 20th centuries
