For some, mother is a homemaker who is always there. For others, mother is a breadwinner who goes off to work each day. This a book for all the mothers who have taught us about life and love. Through a mothers endless patience we learn to love ourselves and to love others as well.

My favorite poem:

Mother's Covers

When you were small And just a touch away, I covered you with blankets Against the cool night air.

But now that you are tall And out of reach, I fold my hands And cover you in prayer.
