Fanny Kelly Quotes

Mother! What A World Of Affection Is Comprised In That Single Word; How Little Do We In The Giddy Round Of Youthful Pleasure And Folly Heed Her Wise Counsels. How Lightly Do We Look Upon That Zealous Care With Which She Guides Our Otherwise Erring Feet, Watches With Feelings Which None But A Mother Can Know The Gradual Expansion Of Our Youth To The Riper Yours Of Discretion. We May Not Think Of It Then, But It Will Be Recalled To Our Minds In After Years, When The Gloomy Grave Or A Fearful Living Separation Has Placed Her Far Beyond Our Reach, And Her Sweet Voice Of Sympathy And Consolation For The Various Ills Attendant Upon Us Sounds In Our Ears No More. How Deeply Then We Regret A Thousand Deeds That We Have Done Contrary To Her Gentle Admonitions! How We Sign For Those Days Once More, That We May Retrieve What We Have Done Amiss And Make Her Kind Heart Glad With Happiness! Alas! Once Gone They Can Never Be Recalled, And We Grow Mournfully Sad With The Bitter Reflection.
