A Mother's Tears

How many tears does a mother cry? I think too many for anyone to count. A mother cries when her child is born. She cries of joy, because now she has someone to love and someone to hold. When that child gets sick, a mother cries until that child gets better, that aliviates her heart. When that child grows up and goes wrong, a mother cries tears that come from the soul and heart. Does a mother ever stop crying? No - a mother will cry through out her life. She will cry for that child that has gone worng. A mother always wants the best for her child. Sometimes it dosn't happen and a mother cries in silence. Her soul is wet from tears that fell like rain. She has no rest night or day. Sometimes a mother cries of joy too. She wants to die before her child, if not - a mother will cry more tears until she leaves this world. This time - she has no more tears. Written by Lucilla M. Carrillo

Thank you very much for your kind words. I only have one child, but one child alone can give us all the problems we need. Happy Easter. Lucilla

Lucilla, I think I am not a great example of a model mother. I feel bad when things go wrong with my kids, but I don't cry alot over it. I think in many ways, I act a lot like a dad! Just a shoulder for them to cry on and offer them advice. This is sweet. I bet you are a mom? Luv, Andrea and happy EAster.

Thanks for reading, but none of us knew how to be mothers. We learn as we go along. We improve with age. Lucilla

How right you are, and thank goodness a mother cares enough to weep when her children are in difficulty. I guess you are a mom and know what you are talking about.
