~I just wanted to give hugs to all the wonderful nurturing Pixies women who are raising happy, healthy, families and to honor the Moms who raised us all.~
Original Poems for Infant Minds "My Mother"
Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.
-Anon.

I had a mother who read to me.

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
-Howard Johnson

Is the hand that rules the world."

-Anon.
