Love Can Be Seen
Story★★★★As Mother was hard at work one day Her three children came in from play. The first spoke and said to she, “I love you mother, can I go watch TV?” Mother told her that she may, As on the kitchen floor she scrubbed away. Her second came later and happily said, “I love you mother, may I play a game with Fred?
“Sure my dear,” she said with a happy heart, As she with dinner was about to start. Her third little one came in soon after.
“I love you, mother” she said with a smile and laughter. “Can I help you with anything at all today? There is always time for fun and play.” And so I ask most solemnly to you, Learn if you will and gain the understanding too, Which child did say and really did mean, “I love you, mother,” knowing that love can be seen?
The point
A poem about three children claiming to love their mother: the first wants TV, the second wants to play, while the third offers to help—posing the question: which child truly meant their love?
