Greetings to all:
As we approach Mother's Day, consider a portion of a poem by
Maya Angelou in which she writes from the perspective of a
mother thinking about her daughter.
I have so much I can teach her
And pull out of her.
I would say you might encounter defeats
But you must never be defeated.
I would teach her to love a lot.
Laugh a lot at the silliest things
and be very serious.
I would teach her to love life,
I could do that.
(as found in Woman Prayers)
