#21 Mother
Caring love cold as an shower,
never before and never after,
shall one as you love me again.
You cradle me at youth,
protect me as I mature,
scold me in contempt and yet -
always in love.
If not for you . . .
. . . I would not care,
If not for you . . .
. . . I would not live,
If not for you . . .
. . . I would not love.
Hold me as I go into the world,
do not protect me, only guide me,
for I am mans' and womans' child,
bold an foolish,
yet as always it shall be -
unknowing.
Forsake me not, for with me pride was born,
good and evil I can do - that all mankind can do,
but that what I've been taught- not all mankind can do . . .
. . . care.
A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.
Carl Sandburg
To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order;
to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put
the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must
first set our hearts right. Confucius
Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide
forever to have your heart go walking outside your body. Elizabeth Stone
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to
this country and to mankind is to bring up a family. G.B. Shaw

In every dispute between parent and child, both
cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this
situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.
Isaac Rosenfeld
