A MAN'S DEBT by FRED EMERSON BROOKS

First Line: I TOAST THE MOTHER WITH THE HALLOWED FEATURES
Last Line: A SWEET WIFE'S LOVE OR SAINTLY MOTHER'S PRAYER.
Subject(s): MOTHERS;
I TOAST the mother with the hallowed features,
Most blessed one of all created creatures!
What man achieves he owes to woman's care--
A sweet wife's love or saintly mother's prayer.
