Dear Mother

Dear mother. I think that I learned how 'To listen', how 'Not to worry', and how 'Not to whine' from you, mother. Mother, I never heard you say, 'Don't worry', but your attitude and actions, and everything about you said it for you. Mother, I don't remember a single lesson about 'Listening', but as a beautician, I saw your ears and heart always tuned in as your clients confided in you. You listened, and they trusted. Mother, I never saw you 'Weeping and whining' over spilled milk. You simply poured another glass of milk. No, Mother. You did not waste your emotions and time complaining about bitter days gone by or bad days ahead. You always believed in a better tomorrow. Thanks, mother. I miss you.
