FIRST CHILD

It was when I had my first child that
I understood how much my mother loved me.

SUCCEED

If at first you don't succeed,
do it the way your mother told you to.

MOTHER UNDERSTANDS

MOTHER

A mother holds her childrens' hands for awhile.....
their hearts forever.

NO CHILDREN

No children in the house to play--
It must be hard to live that way!
I wonder what the people do
When night comes on and the work is through,
With no glad little folks to shout,
No eager feet to race about,
No youthful tongues to chatter on
About the joy that's been and gone?
The house might be a castle fine,
But what a lonely place to dine!

No children in the house at all,
No fingermarks upon the wall,
No corner where the toys are piled--
Sure indication of a child.
No little lips to breathe the prayer
That God shall keep you in His care,
No glad caress and welcome sweet
When night returns you to your street;
No little lips a kiss to give--
Oh, what a lonely way to live!

No children in the house! I fear
We could not stand it half a year.
What would we talk about at night,
Plan for and work with all our might,
Hold common dreams about and find
True union of heart and mind,
If we two had no greater care
Than what we both should eat and wear?
We never knew love's brightest flame
Until the day the baby came.

And now we could not get along
Without their laughter and their song.
Joy is not bottled on a shelf,
It cannot feed upon itself,
And even love, if it shall wear,
Must find its happiness in care;
Dull we'd become of mind and speech
Had we no little ones to teach.
No children in the house to play!
Oh, we could never live that way!

Edgar A. Guest

Home is a place where children learn how to limit their wishes,
abide by rules and consider the rights and needs of others.

MOM SAYS

I say to my children,
"If we always do what we have always done,
we will always get what we always got."

to show that sleep is not necessary to human life.....

LIGHT AND SOUND

Light travels faster than sound.
That's why some people appear bright
until you hear them speak!

My mom used to say to me,
"It's not having what you want,
it's wanting what you have!"

SOMETHING

To get something you never had,
you have to do something you never did.
