Jeanne P. Lawler’s obituary says she’s best remembered for
five songs in the LDS Children’s Song Book: "I Often Go Walking",
"Hinges," "Family History," "When Jesus Christ Was
Baptized," and "The Holy Ghost." It also says, “She found joy in
living, made friends everywhere and had an adventurous spirit.” I was one of
those many lucky friends. Jeanne and I were students in a recorder class for
music teachers at BYU. I can’t recall much about the class, but I remember she
made it fun. Have a happy Mother’s Day!
I often go walking in
meadows of clover, and I gather armfuls of blossoms of blue.
I gather the blossoms the whole meadow over; dear mother,
all flowers remind me of you.
O mother, I give you my love with each flower to give forth
sweet fragrance a whole lifetime through;
For if I love blossoms and meadows and walking, I learn how
to love them, dear mother, from you.
