BLESSED
"She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
---Proverbs 31:25-29---

MOTHER'S LOVE
"Youth fades; love droops;
The leaves of friendship fall___
a mother's love
outlives them all."

TENDERNESS
"Mother's arms are made
for tenderness,
and sweet sleep blesses the children
who lies therein."
---by Victor Hugo---

TREASURE
"Richer than I you can never be
I had a mother who read to me."

MOTHER'S COVERS
"When you were small
And just a touch away,
I covered you with blankets
Against the cool night air.
But now that you are tall
And out of reach,
I fold my hands
And cover you in prayer."
