一年前的今天孩子送了一份母親節的禮物，是一副木製相框，她指著中間的相片說：“我和我這些最好的朋友都是你的小孩。” 我很感動，把這幅畫一直掛在廳裏，已經看了一年。慚愧的媽媽今天早上才去查詢印在鏡框上的文字來補上這一課，借此獻給所有的母親，祝大家節日快樂！
A Mother's Love
by Helen Steiner Rice
A Mother's love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendored miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.
