My Mother

Shadows of time
show gently on your face.
You gave love so unselfishly
from a never ending fountain.

Thank you, Mother
.....My Life's Most Precious Gift....

This page is dedicated to all mothers who, like my mother,
gave their lives completely to being there for their husband and children.

What a wonderful contribution you have made.

When at sixteen, I was vain,
because someone praised me, my father said,

"They are only praising your youth.
You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen.
But if you are beautiful at sixty, it will be your own soul's doing.
Then you may be proud of it and be loved for it"

~Marie Stopes

...My mother was still beautiful at 87...

Babies
by Guy E. McMinimy

You can raise a crop of babies on
almost any land;
In fact, you need a little grit and
just a little sand.
And lots of love and laughter to make
them grow up strong--
Yet folks with lots of babies seem
somehow to get along.

I don't say they're as useful quite as
calves and pigs and such.
But they're a grand crop in themselves
and worth ten times as much.

So don't forget the babies when
you're plannin' for your farm.
A few about you underfoot won't do
a bit of harm.

And when your hair is growin'gray
and years are growin' long,
Your heart instead of drin' up
will hold a merry song.

For babies have a way with them
Of growin' strong and tall.
And make such dandy leanin' posts
when life's summer turns to fall.

The exerpts on this page are from my mother's scrapbook.
Though she was a very quiet, soft spoken person,
the selections in her scrapbook speak volumes
about what was important to her.........
Faith and Family, Love and Life !
