A MOTHER'S LOVE
A Mother's Love Outlasts Everything!
One calm, bright, sweet, sunshiny day,
an angel slipped out of heaven and came
down to this old world and roamed field
and forest, city and hamlet.
Just as the sun was setting, he spread
his wings and said,
"Now my visit is over and I must
go back to the world of light. But
before I go, I would like to take along
some mementos of my visit here."
He noticed a beautiful flower garden
and said, "How lovely and fragrant
these flowers are."
He plucked the rarest and most beautiful
roses and made a bouquet and said, "I
see nothing more beautiful and fragrant
than these; I will take them back to
heaven with me."
Looking on a little further, he saw a
bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked baby, smiling
into its mother's face And he said, "Oh,
that baby's smile is even prettier than
this bouquet of roses; I will take that,
too!"
Then he looked just beyond the cradle
and there was a mother's love pouring
out like the gush of a river toward the
cradle and the baby. And he said to
himself,
"Oh, that mother's love is the prettiest
thing I have seen on earth; I will carry
that, too."
With the three treasures he winged his
way back to heaven. When he got outside
the pearly gates, he decided to examine
his mementos to see how well they had
made the trip.
He looked at the flowers and they had
wilted He looked at the baby's smile and
it had faded. He looked at the mother's
love and it was still there in all its
warmth and in all its pristine beauty.
He threw aside the wilted flowers and
the faded smile, and winged his way
through the gates. He led all the hosts
of heaven together and said,
"Here is the only thing I found on earth
that would keep its beauty all the way
to heaven ... It is a Mother's Love."
