I came across this piece years ago. I think that it will touch your heart as it did mine!
“The Images of Mother”
When I was 4 years old – My Mommy can do anything.
When I was 8 years old – My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
When I was 12 years old – My Mom doesn’t really know quite everything.
When I was 14 years old – My Mom doesn’t know that either.
When I was 16 years old – Mother? She is hopelessly old fashioned.
When I was 18 years old – That old woman? She’s way out of date.
When I was 25 years old – Well she might know a little bit about it.
When I was 35 years old – Before we decide, let’s get Mom’s opinion.
When I was 45 years old – Wonder what Mom would have thought about it.
When I was 65 years old – Wish I could talk it over with Mom.
