I think of you in the in between spaces. In the pause before the next heartbeat, In the clench of my chest before I exhale, in the swell of courage before I say hello. And perhaps one day our lives will occupy one space, Touched shoulders, clasped hands, shared secrets.

If I had a wish today; I would but wish to just be by your side forever, loving and caring for you continuously.

~THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN~
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t,
If you like to win, but you think you can’t
It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can!

~”Thinking” or ”The Man Who Thinks He Can” by Walter D. Wintle

It was published in 1905
 
“The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.”

~Hubert H. Humphrey

GOOD NIGHT!!

 

  
~INVICTUS~
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
          ~”Invictus” by William Earnest Henley, The poem was published in 1875
  
~IT’S MY LIFE~
“Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose, I’d tell myself what good you do
Convince myself…”
~from ”It’s my Life” by Talk Talk
Album: ”It’s my Life” - 1984

~ REACH ~
If I could reach, higher 
Just for one moment touch the sky 
From that one moment in my life 
I’m gonna be stronger 
Know that I’ve tried my very best 
I’d put my spirit to the test 
If I could reach…”

“You are as welcome as the flowers in May.”
~ Charles Macklin
 
“Hope is the thing with feathers 
That perches in the soul, 
And sings the tune—without the words, 
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard; 
And sore must be the storm 
That could abash the little bird 
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chillest land, 
And on the strangest sea; 
Yet, never, in extremity, 
It asked a crumb of me.”
~ Emily Dickinson

“It’s time to start living the life you’ve imagined.”
 ~ Henry James

  ~ Mothers Prayers ~
  
I would like to share a few of my favourites that deal with Mothering and home as well as a few quotes I enjoy as well.
“Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My mother.” ~Anne Taylor, My Mother, Stanza 6.
“They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He wields a mighty scepter
O’er lesser powers that be;
But a mightier power and stronger
Man from his throne has hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.”
~William Ross Wallace, What Rules the World. Written about 1865–6.
  
~Some words of wisdom ~
“Mother, without you, your home will crumble. My heart is an organ that cannot be seen from the outside. It is hidden away, but it is the most important member in my body. If my heart stops beating, I am finished. So it is with mothers. If our mother heart stops beating in the home, it will begin to fall apart. God wants us to order our families from the very center of the home. We are not to be on the periphery, running here and there, but in the recesses. My husband says, “If a woman has home in her heart, she will have heart in her home.” ~Nancy Campbell

“Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is place in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into it’s soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,—she would see that in all God’s world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her.” ~JR Miller, from the 1900’s, from the book Homemaking
  
“When mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” ~Anonimous
“When your mother asks, “Do you want a piece of advice?” it is a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.” ~Erma Bombeck 
  
“The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men — from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms.” ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., in “The Professor at the Breakfast Table” in The Atlantic Monthly (May 1859), p. 618.
  
“Everywhere the need exists for maternal sympathy and help, and thus we are able to recapitulate in the one word motherliness that which we have developed as the characteristic value of woman. Only, the motherliness must be that which does not remain within the narrow circle of blood relations or of personal friends; but in accordance with the model of the Mother of Mercy, it must have its root in universal divine love for all who are there, be labored and burdened.” ~Edith Stein, in The Significance of Woman’s Intrinsic Value in National Life (1928).
 I hope you may be blessed by these prayers and verses and they may be of some use to you.
Wishing you a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!
MOM,  I  Love You!
