Ten Lovely Thoughts for Mothers
On Valentine’s Day, I posted some nice quotes from writers on romantic love, so I thought I’d do something similar in honor of mothers everywhere but particularly the moms I love best: my wife, Melanie, and my own mom, Helen Wasko.
May mothers everywhere read and be blessed.

And hushed me in her arms to rest,
And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?

And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My mother
