A MOTHER’S PROMISE
TO HER SON .
By KATHLEEN NORRIS I
-—- I
■stay. Just as you planned'I planned,1
and I said to myself: “When the time
comes for us to part I shall make him
a promise.” Dear one, this is my
promise, and I make it for the term
of your own—“for the duration of the
present war.”
I promise you that while you are
away, whether It is months or years,
nothing except what I can give you
and give all the others shall fill my
life. I promise you that I shall de
vote myself, here in safety, to the
work of making what you do easier
and stronger and safer for you. I
promise you that I shall give—and
give and give—for th? Cause! Not
the money I can spard, not the time
I have left when everything else Is
done, but all the money, all the time,
all the energy I have!
Your whole life has been altered,
has been set to sterner and graver
music. So shall mine be. You will
know self denial, privation and fatigue
while the war lasts. So shall I know
them. Even If black news comes, even
if the blackest comes, I shall remem
ber that against your brave heart this
promise is resting, and I shall go on.
And while there is one man among our
million and among the millions of our
allies who needs clothing and nursing
and comforts and s.olace for your sake
I shall not fail him.
i perhaps In God's goodness this note
■ will come safely back to me in llie
! olive drab pocket, and we will smile
over it together. But, remember, until
that hour comes I shall he always busy
filling mv own small place in the great
machine of mercy and «.s truly under
the colors over here as you are over
there. God blesi^
