Paul Dresser Birthplace at entrance to Fairbanks Park in Terre Haute

(Tribune-Star/Jim Avelis)

Oftentimes my thoughts revert to scenes of childhood,
Where I first received my lessons, nature's school.
But one thing there is missing in the picture,
Without her face it seems so incomplete.
I long to see my mother in the doorway,
As she stood there years ago, her boy to greet.
