The Lingering Fragrance
There's an ancient proverb that if practiced each day
Would change the whole world in a wonderful way.
Its truth is so simple, it's easy to do,
And it works every time and successfully too.
For you can't do a kindness without a reward--
Not in silver nor gold but in joy from the Lord.
You can't light a candle to show others the way
Without feeling the warmth of that bright little ray.
And you can't pluck a rose all fragrant with dew
Without part of its fragrance remaining with you.
And whose hands bestow more fragrant bouguets
Than Mother, who daily speaks kind words of praise--
Mother, whose courage and comfort and cheer
Light bright little candles in hearts through the year.
No wonder the hands of an unselfish mother
Are symbols of sweetness unlike any other.
~ Helen Steiner Rice
Mothers hold their children's hands for
the early years, but their hearts forever,
Memories grow more meaningful
with every passing year--
More precious and more beautiful,
more treasured and more dear.
And that is why on Mother's Day
there comes the happy thought
Of all the treasured memories
a mother's love has brought...
~ Helen Steiner Rice
Treasured Memories
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
Love and best wishes to all Mothers, New Mothers,
and Older Mothers -- And to All Grandmothers as you
deserve it too. May God Richly Bless each one of you....
For the Love and Understanding, for the sleepless nights,
For:
Who on earth gives more away
and does more good for others,
Than understanding, kind, and wise,
and selfless, loving mothers,
Who ask no more than just the joy
of helping those they love
To find in life the happiness
that they are dreaming of.

Of All the music that reached
farthest into heaven
it is the beating of a loving heart.

A mother's love is like a beacon burning bright with faith and prayer, And through the changing scenes of life we find a haven there...
About The Author: Helen Steiner Rice
Mothers are the cornerstone of happy childhood
memories, and no one was able to capture these
memories like acclaimed poet Helen Steiner Rice.
Whether it's the spiritual foundation mothers lay for
our lives or the joyful moments shared together,
these precious gifts reveal that the love between a
mother and child is eternal.
A mother's love is something that no one can explain--
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain.
It is endless and unselfish and enduring, come what may,
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away...
No one else holds the special place in our hearts that our mothers do. Whether it's their patient guidance through
life's difficulties or the sparkle and joy they add to a happy childhood, the wonderful contributions mothers make to
our lives bring our highest accolades of love and adoration.
Each little child is like a dainty rosebud,
as it is nurtured by its mother, it
blossoms into a unique and beautiful Rose
