Greetings to All Moms

Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall. A mother’s secret love outlives them all. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. 

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont 

A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge 

When you were small and just a touch away, I covered you with blankets against the cold night air. But now that you are tall and out of reach, I fold my hands and cover you with prayer. ~Dona Maddux Cooper 

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving 

Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.~unknown
