HEDQIT5 Football Taekling high, and tackling low, Twelve years old and ready to go, Alnd his mother looked with a wisyul eye At the notfar distant hy and hy,' The dawn of the dangerous morning when, He'll go to thefield with older men. And the mother says, in a motherls way, When he's older grown he will want to play. And the game is rough and the players fall And they never think of mother at all,' They never think 4 our dreadjust then, And thefears that come when our boys are men. What can I say, and what can I do Time was when Iyearnedfor the scrimmage too, Time was I longed with an ardent soul, To battle my way to afarjiung goal, And I know that I'd have joyed at a hurt hack then just to take my place with the older men. Oh, the game is rough and so are the years, And we all get hart, and we all shed tears, We are all thrown hard hy the hand of fate, And we all do things where the danger's great And a hay must learn, and 'tis well he can- In the game of lye, to play the man. -A MOTHER.
