Playthings

MARION SUSAN CAMPBELL

I've seen a mother, bending, kiss her son,Taking from him,Lest they should cause distress,A piece of glass, a colored bead, a stone;His tightening fingers curve like a shellAround those joys until,Drawn by the love within his mother's eyes,He suddenlyDrops all his dangerous toysAnd lifts both hands to touch his mother's face.
