Jimmy_JC Prayer for my mother
Just for Fun
片段讲解秀
from:《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》
Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
I am bless with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child ? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything ? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes her morther really is?
I don't know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I''ll look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.
