[nidokidos] MY MOTHER

 

*MY MOTHER*. 
This is a truly BEAUTIFUL piece.
 Please read this at a slow pace, digesting every word
 and in leisure...do not hurry....this is a treasure...
For those lucky to still be blessed with your Mom,
 this is beautiful
For those of us who aren't, this is even more beautiful. 
For those who are moms, you'll love this.

The young mother set her foot on the path of life.
 "Is this the long way?" she asked.
And the guide said: "Yes, and the way is hard. And 
you will be old before you reach the end of it.

But the end will be better than the beginning.
 But the young mother was happy, and she
 would not believe that anything could be 
better than these years.
So she played with her children, and gathered flowers
 for them along the way, and bathed them in the clear
 streams; and the sun shone on them, and 
the young Mother cried,
"Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."

Then the night came, and the storm, and the path
 was dark, and the children shook with fear and cold,
 and the mother drew them close and covered them
 with her mantle, and the children said,
"Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near,
 and no harm can come."
And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, 
and the children climbed and grew weary, and
 the mother was weary.

But at all times she said to the children,
" *A little patience and we are there*." 
So the children climbed, and when they 
reached the top they said,
" *Mother, we would not have done it without you*."

And the mother, when she lay down at night looked
 up at the stars and said,"This is a better day than the last,
 for my children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness.

Yesterday I gave them *courage*. Today,
 I  have given them *strength*."

And the next day came strange clouds, which
 darkened the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil,
 and the children groped and stumbled, and 
the mother said: " *Look up* . *Lift your eyes to the light* ."

And the children looked and saw above the clouds an
 everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the
 darkness. And that night the Mother said,
"This is the best day of all, for I have 
shown my children God."

And the days went on, and the weeks and the months
 and the years, and the mother grew old and 
she was little and bent.

But her children were tall and strong, and walked with
 courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her, 
for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came 
to a hill, and beyond they could see a shining road 
and golden gates flung wide.
And mother said,
"I have reached the end of my journey.

And now I know the end is better than the beginning,
 for my children can walk alone, and their children after them."
And the children said,
"You will always walk with us, Mother, 
even when you have gone through the gates."
And they stood and watched her as she went 
on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said:
"We cannot see her but she is with us still.

A Mother like ours is more than a memory. 
*She is a living presence......" 
Your Mother is always with you* ....

She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down
 the street; she's the smell of bleach in your freshly 
laundered socks; she's the cool hand on your 
brow when you're not well.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter. 
And she's crystallised in every teardrop.
She's the place you came from, your first home; and
 she's the map you follow with every step you take.
She's your first love and your first heartbreak, and
 nothing on earth can separate you'. 
Not time, not space... not even death!

PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE MOTHERS CHILDREN 
YOU KNOW. MAY WE NEVER TAKE OUR MOTHERS 
FOR GRANTED NO MATTER WHAT..
