Thanks Mom for everything you did for me when you were on earth with my dad. no comments
A friend share this with em and it reminded me with many good things my mom had done to me. I hope you will enjoyed reading it. share it with your parent if you have parent.
The young mother set her foot on the path of life. “Is
this the long way?” she asked. And the guide said: “Yes, and the way is hard. And
you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the
beginning.”
But the young mother was happy, and she would not
believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her
children, and gathered flowers for
them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and the sun shone on them,
and the young Mother cried,
“Nothing will ever be lovelier than this.”
Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was
dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and
covered them with her mantle, and the children said, “Mother, we are not afraid, for
you are near, and no harm can come.”
And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and
the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she
said to the children,” A little patience and we are there.” So the children
climbed, and when they reached the top they said, “Mother, we would not have done it
without you.”
And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up
at the stars and said, “This is a better day than the last, for my children have
learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage. Today,
I’ve given them strength.”
And the next day came strange clouds which darkened
the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled,
and the mother said: “Look up. Lift your eyes to the light. ” And the children
looked and saw above the clouds an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the
darkness. And that night the Mother said,
“This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children God.”
And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and
the years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children
were tall and strong, and walked with
courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her,
for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill, and beyond they
could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And mother said, “I have
reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning,
for my children can walk alone, and their children after them.”
And the children said, “You will always walk with us,
Mother, even when you have gone through the gates.”
And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her.
And they said: “We cannot see her
but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living
presence…….”
Your Mother is always with you…. She’s the whisper
of the leaves as you walk down the street; she’s the smell of bleach in your freshly
laundered socks; she’s the cool hand
on your brow when you’re not well. Your Mother lives
inside your laughter. And she’s crystallized in every tear drop. She’s the place
you came from, your first home; and
she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love and your
first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can
separate you. Not time, not space… not even death!
PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE MOTHERS & CHILDREN YOU KNOW.
MAY WE NEVER TAKE OUR MOTHERS FOR GRANTED…
Pass it on to the men too because they have mothers too….
