Happy Mother's Day

YOUR MOTHER
When your mother has grown older,
When her dear, faithful eyes
no longer see life as they once did,
When her feet, grown tired,
no longer want to carry her as she walks -

Then lend her your arm in support,
Escort her with happy pleasure.
The hour will come when, weeping,
You must accompany her on her final walk.

And if she asks you something,
Then give her an answer.
And if she asks again, then speak!
And if she asks yet again, respond to her,
Not impatiently, but with gentle calm.

And if she cannot understand you properly
Explain all to her happily.
The hour will come, the bitter hour,
When her mouth asks for nothing more.

This is very special. Thank you for posting this.
Our mothers deserve respect, we can’t always see this or understand this when we’re young or with the way things have been in the world. But I want to encourage adults on the forums to just take a step back and really listen to what parents have to say, about whatever they want to say. Even in difficult relationships. It could just be something about something they enjoy. Before you know it they could be gone in a flash.
