THREE THINGS by CHRISTOPHER BANNISTER

First Line: THREE THINGS THERE BE THAT NEARLY BREAK MY HEART
Last Line: HERE WAITING, WAITING--AND MY MOTHER GONE!
Subject(s): MOTHERS;
THREE things there be that nearly break my heart;
The thought of Christmas and my mother's part
In all its sweetness; the soft prayer she said
And I beside her ready for my bed;
And her last kiss at night. Woe's me, alone
Here waiting, waiting--and my mother gone!
