The young mother set her foot on the path of life. She asked, " Is this

the long way? "

 

And the elder said: " Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old

before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the

beginning. "

 

But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything

could be better than these years. So she played with her children, and

gathered flowers for them along the way, and bathed them in the clear

streams; and the sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried, " Nothing

will ever be lovelier than this. "

 

Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was dark, and the

children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and

covered them with her mantle, and the children said, " Mother, we are not

afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come. "

 

And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children

climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she

said to the children, " A little patience and we are there. " So the

children climbed and when they reached the top, they said, " Mother, we

would not have done it without you. "

 

And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up at the stars and

said, " This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned

fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage. Today,

I have given them strength. "

 

And with the next day came strange clouds which darkened the earth,

clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled,

and the mother said: " Look up. Lift your eyes to the light. " And the

children looked and saw above the clouds an everlasting glory of stars,

and they guided them beyond the darkness. And that night the Mother

said, " This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children the

Great Spirit. "

 

And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and

the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were

tall and strong, and walked with courage. And when the way was rough,

they lifted her, for she was as light as a feather; and at last they

came to a hill, and beyond they could see a shining road and a beautiful

land. And mother said: " I have reached the end of my journey. And now

I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk

alone, and their children after them. "

 

And the children said, " You will always walk with us, Mother, even when

you have gone on your journey to the sky. " And they stood and watched

her as she went on alone, and she walked out of sight. And they said:

" We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is

more than a memory. She is a living presence. "

 

Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you

walk down the street, she's the smell of bleach in your freshly

laundered clothes she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well.

 

Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every

tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's

the map you follow with every step you take.

 

She's your first love and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth

can separate you. Not time, not space ... not even death!
