If you had the pen of Byron you could use it every day

In composing written worships to your sweetheart far awayshy

But the letter far more welcome to an older gentler breast

Is the letter to your mother from the boy she loves the best

She will read it very often when the lights are soft and low

Sitting in the same old arm-chair where she held you long ago

And regardles of its diction its spelling or its style

Although its composition might provoke a critics smile

In her fond and trembling fingers it becomes a work of art

Stained by tears of joy and sadness as she hugs it to her heart

Yes the letter of all letters no matter where you roam

Is the letter to your mother from the boy away from home
