Somebody's Mother across the wintry street
A ragged elderly woman stands at a snow slick crosswalk ignored by busy youths. A kind boy among them helps her cross and reflects that she is somebody's mother and hopes someone will aid his own mother someday. The poem ends with the mother praying for kindness to noble boys who are somebody's sons.
