A Poem for Tuesday

My goodness yesterday's post was semi-depressing.  Let's have a cheerful mother poem.

Explaining it to Dolly
Alice Crowell Hoffman


I've tried my very best to be
As good to you, dear dolly,


As Mother dear has been
To Bud and me and Polly -- 


But if I have not measured up
In one way or another,


You must remember it's quite hard
To be as good as Mother.
