SOMETIMES I WISH.
I am oppressed with this great sense of loving My tall, straight, rather distant young son; It’s like incense, a subtle and unfailing Reminder of the glorious thing I E have done. The perfect knowledge that he Js mine Is like a song on the strings of mv heart; But though he’s my son, to continue my line, I stand in awe! We arc whole worlds apart! M hen he stoops to allow’ me to kiss him, Smilingly’ intent on his busy day's plan, He docs not see that my eyes grow dim— How I wish, sometimes, he were less of a man! —lean Steele Marlatt, in the Tribune.
