A Mother’s Arms - Sue ShifflettOur first experience with love is the touch of our Mother,
As we are placed in her arms.
We are cuddled, fed, bathed, and comforted.
This security becomes the fertile groundwork for
All other relationships in our life.
As a toddler, trusting and innocent;
We venture out into a harsh world,
Where words and actions of others may hurt us.
So we return to that place which is our safest haven – Home.
Young people search for love and acceptance in a chaotic world;
Moving farther from the home fires,
And veering into territories that are strange and unfamiliar.
Friends, music, rebellion, action and danger –
Yearning to prove their Individuality
And striking out for Independence.
Though we move away from that which we know to be true,
There comes a time when the loving arms of our Mother
Beckons us to once again partake of the love and security
That reminds us of a simpler time and place.
When every care was attended to –
Where we could curl up in a warm ball
And know that everything would be all right.
Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful women in my life - daughters, sisters, aunts, nieces and friends; who have always been there showing me love, teaching me by example, and sharing their hearts. I love you all.

Happy Mother's Day to you, Sioux!
Sioux, you had such a chaotic experience growing up. Wish you could have had more stable, single relationship with your mother. You were robbed way too young but I know that your mom would be proud of the way you turned out and the loving mother you have become. I guess it just proves that true greatest will always win out. Happy Mother's Day to you.
