What It Means To Be A Mother
To all that have been visiting my world for some time, know that my children are my world! The love that runs through these veins for my children, can never be put to words as there is no description of such a love! It has to be felt...and experienced.
I found the posted picture in my "inbox" this morning thanks to my 21 year old and it surfaced a deep reminder of my overwhelming love for my children. My children are adults now, but will always remain in my heart the way they are pictured below.
So I will leave you all with a few quotes that I was able to find.
Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.
Oprah Winfrey
A mother understands what a child does not say.
Jewish Proverb
Youth fades, love droops, the leaves of friendship fall, A mother's secret hope outlives them all.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
~Honoré de Balzac
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
~Washington Irving
A MOTHER'S LOVE
A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.
