Answer» “Take me not till the children grow” (Any Woman) “His mother, who was patient, being dead.” (The Toys) Both the lines signify the importance of a mother in the house. Mother is the synonym of love. A child without a mother does not develop properly and that is why the mother in ‘Any Woman’ prays to God to spare her life till her children grow up.
