Her Mission.

By Jean Blewett

She is so winsome and so wise She sways me at her will, And oft the question will arise, What mission does she fill? O then I say with pride untold, And love beyond degree, This woman with the heart of gold, She just keeps house for me - For me, She just keeps house for me! A full content dwells on her face, She's quite in love with life, And for a title wears with grace The sweet old-fashioned "wife." Our children climb upon her knee, And nestle on her breast, And ah! her mission seems to me The grandest and the best. O then I say with pride untold, And love beyond degree, This woman with the heart of gold, She just keeps house for me - For me, She just keeps house for me!
