    Your Notes

    May 10th 2009

    WHAT IS A MOTHER?
    Somewhere between the youthful energy of a teenager and the golden years of a woman’s
    life, there lives a marvelous and loving person known as "Mother."
    A mother is a curious mixture of patience, kindness, understanding, discipline, industriousness,
    purity and love.
    A mother can be at one and the same time, both "lovelorn counselor" to a heartsick daughter,
    and "head soccer coach" to an athletic son.
    A mother can sew the tiniest stitch in the material for that dainty prom dress and she is equally
    experienced in threading through the heaviest traffic with a station wagon or van.
    A mother is the only creature on earth who can cry when she’s happy, laugh when she’s
    heartbroken, and work when she’s feeling ill.
    A mother is as gentle as a lamb and as strong as a giant. Only a mother can appear so weak
    and helpless and yet be the same one who puts the fruit jar cover on so tightly even Dad
    can’t get it off.
    A mother is a picture of helplessness when Dad is near, and a marvel of resourcefulness when
    she’s all alone.
    A mother has the angelic voice of a member in the celestial choir as she sings Brahm’s lullaby
    to a babe held tight in her arms; yet this same voice can dwarf the sound of an amplifier when
    she call her boys in for supper, or cheers them on at a game.
    A mother has the fascinating ability to be almost everywhere at once and she alone can
    somehow squeeze and enormous amount of living into an average day.
    A mother is "old fashioned" to her teenager; just "Mom" to her third-grader; and simple "Mama"
    to little two-year old sister.
    But there is hardly a thrill in life that can compete to pointing to that wonderful woman and be
    able to say to all the world, "That’s my mother!"
