Mother's Day Letter May 23, 1918
Hast thou sounded the depths of yonder sea.
And counted the sands that under it be.
Has thou counted the stars in heaven above.
Then mayest thou think of a mother's love.So Dear Mother, moved by an inspired thought I am sending you this letter, a token of love and to tell you, dear mother, I haven't forgotten you, and there isn't a day passes but what I think of you. Your loving son,
J. WM. Coons.
