My Children
Listen to my thoughts
Open your ears
If only for 30 seconds
Because my life is closing
Whilst yours is opening
The spawning of new ideas
Comes with the cycle of life and death...
I have words
I have words of wisdom
In retrospect, OF COURSE.....
Can I offer them to you?
If so, I humbly say to you
Live for the moment
But remember there will also be a moment that follows that moment
Think about consequences
And then think about causes
Accept things the way they are
But change things that you believe you can
Hold a vision
And keep it firmly in your mind
Make it a positive vision
Keep negativity to a minimum
Use every talent you have
Make the most of everything you have been born with
But recognise the negative
Fear is your enemy
Love is your friend
Don’t cry for what you do not have
Celebrate what you do have
Be kind
Be forgiving
Accept....
But don’t put up with cruelty
Or feelings of unworthiness
We all have flaws
And moments when things seem hopeless
They rarely are....
Hope is at one
With the common salvation
Learn what you can
From everyone you meet
From everyone you love
From everyone who loves you
Do everything without expectation
And you will receive
Everything you need
And remember
That whatever happens
A mother loves you
No matter how bad or how low you feel
THIS mother always loves you
ALL WAYS
