from ‘The Beauty of Motherhood’:
I’d rather be a mother than anyone on earth
Bringing up a child or two of unpretentious birth
I’d rather tuck a little child all safe and sound in bed
Than twine a chain of diamonds about my {carefree} head.
I’d rather wash a smudgy face with round, bright, baby eyes
Than paint the pageantry of fame or walk among the wise.
