My Own Child

Designs By Marion Dove Werth counted cross stitch leaflet, My Own Child. This sampler has a nice pine border. "I did not plant you, true. But when the season is done, When the alternate prayers for sun and rain are counted- When the pain of weeding and the pride of watching are through- Then I shall hold you high. A shining leaf above the thousand seeds grown wild. Not my planting but by heavens, my harvest - My own Child."
