My Mother’s ChairI wouldn’t call my Mother’s Chair

a rare antique to treasure,But there is worth and value there

that money cannot measure.With each new baby o’er the years,she rocked, she sang, and kissed

away some tears.Worn and scratched, it squeaks

a bit;hardly anyone goes near it.

It seems to want to wait untila new babe comes to hear it.
