Oliver Wendell Holmes possessed amazing skills, but none
greater than his insight into the minds of mothers:
Youth fades; love droops,
the leaves of friendship fall:
A mother's secret hope outlives them all.
Blessed is the child whose mother's secret hope'' is embodied in
"sighs too deep for words," constantly hoping with unspoken
encouragement. r
A "mother's secret hope" finds expression in soft eyes that
reflect love and in firm eyes that discipline, urging adherence to
tightness without ever speaking a word
She is a person who sees no inconsistency in being herself and
at the same time sharing herself with her child, calling forth the best
in both.
She recognizes that her child is a first-time visitor to this planet,
and everything is new Mother becomes tour director, touching the
early dogwoods of the forest, blessing her child by introducing
everything that grows
And "mother's secret hope" outlives all failures because she
never sees her child's successes in terms of what he or she does, but
what he or she is. And when failures happen, it is failure in DOING not
BEING.
Whether you are 5 or 50. she never stops being mother At 5
you are unaware of her secret hope; at 50 she no longer has a secret
You Me it in her wrinkled face , roadmapped by your own pilgrimage
up several Fools Hills' and other related mountains
