Poet Analysis

First Line: ANOTHER YEAR OF JOY AND GRIEF
Last Line: YOU GUIDE, & I YOUR VALENTINE.
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; LIFE; LOVE; MOTHERS; VALENTINE'S DAY;
Another year of joy & grief,
Another year of hope & fear:
O Mother, is life long or brief?
We hasten while we linger here.

But since we linger, love me still
And bless me still, O Mother mine,
While hand in hand we scale life's hill,
You Guide, & I your Valentine.
