By Example Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

A mother sings a lullaby
To let her baby know
that she is near no need to cry.

The babe is sleeping peacefully
In safety warm and dry
Still mother listens carefully.

As baby sleeps her mother rests.
Relaxed but vigilant,
the mother love which she invests.

Will in time pay rich dividends
at compound interest.
Mutual love which never ends.

The child becomes a woman grown.
A daughter and a friend
When she has children of her own.

She knows exactly what to do
to care for her baby.
Do what her mother taught her to.
