Respect Your Mother

You will find no better best friend
than your mother in this world.
Believe me.
She knows you more than anyone does.
You are the flesh of her flesh.
Respect her, cherish her,
love her with all your heart,
She could be gone one day
and you'd find no one like her.

that night when she so softly held my hands and sought to stop
my tears; but, precisely, it seemed to me that this should not have

that, with a hidden and impious hand, I had just traced the first
wrinkle and made appear the first grey hair in her soul
. ~ Marcel Proust

when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us;

to dissipate the clouds of darkness,
and cause peace to return to our hearts.

When I was growing up
we never had the best house
on the block, the best car,
or the most money,
but one thing I had that no one
else had was
the best mother
Looking back, I guess I was
the richest kid
in my neighborhood after all.
