Happy Mother's Day to you too.

I just wanted to share a few excerpts from a book I have
"A Special Collection in Praise of Mothers"Selected by Helen Exley-

"A woman with a child rediscovers the world.
All is changed-politics,loyalties,needs.
For now all is judged by the life of a child........and of all children"
-Pam Brown


"The greatest battle that was ever fought-
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find it not;
It was fought by the mothers of men."
-Joakun Miller

"Becoming a mother makes you the mother of all children.From now on each wounded,abandoned,frightened child is yours.You live in the suffering mothers of every race and creed and weep with them.You long to comfort all who are desolate."
-Charlotte Gray

"Before becoming a mother
I had a hundred theories
on how to bring up children.
Now I have seven children
and only one theory:
love them,
especially when they least deserve
to be loved."
-Kate Samperi

"Motherhood brings as much joy as ever,but it still brings boredom,exhaustion, and sorrows too.Nothing else ever will make you as happy or as sad,as proud or as tired,
for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality especially while you struggle to keep your own"
-Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parsons



To any Mother-
"There seemed to be something huge and important to say;
But somehow,then,we could never think of the words.
Anyway, they would keep,so it did not matter,
And there would be time and time enough to remember;
So we laughed as the years flew over our heads like birds.

And then, one day, we remembered them; ran all the way,
Breathless came running, and beat and called at your door:
At the door of the house whose silence and emptiness mocked us,
For you had slipped out the back way,quite quietly leaving
"I love you, and thank you", unneeded,unsaid,evermore."
-Margaret Willy
