Victorian Lace on
Mother's Day
Let’s take a
journey back in
time
To centuries long
ago
When everything
was beautiful
And gentle streams
did flow.
Where happy
children graced
the halls
In mansions on a
hill
Where charm and
grace did set the
pace
In memories,
lingering still.
A time when ladies
met for tea
At tables set for
two
Southern belles
with things to
tell
In misty morning
hue.
Corsets here and
bustles there
Such lovely
flowing dresses
A touch of
eloquence was
found
Beneath those
lovely tresses.
All dressed up in
fringe and lace
With gowns of
flowing white
They held their
children close to
them
And tucked them in
at night.
With locks of hair
pulled up in buns
And topped with
pretty bonnet
The legend that
was left behind
Goes nearly like a
sonnet.
The century now
has turned the
tide
They since, have
gone away
And other mothers
fill the earth
To brighten
Mother’s Day.
Through the
passing years in
time
One thing will
stay the same
The precious love
of Mother
Her name will
always remain.
For all the ladies
gone before
I pray for
heaven’s grace
To all the Mothers
here today
I wish you frills
and lace.
