The Book Our Mother's Read
We search the world for truth; we cull
The good, the pure, the beautiful,
From graven stone and written scroll.
And all old flower-fields of the soul;
And, weary seekers of the best,
We come back laden from the quest,
To find that all the sages said
Is in the Book our mothers read.
--John Greenleaf Whittier
But today's mother's are better known for cell phones and handing off their children so they can pursue their careers. I wonder, what legacy, what firm foundation, what fond memories will these poor children have when they are older? If it is to be "the Book our mothers read", then there are a lot of mothers who need to put down the phone, turn off the T.V. and start reading the Book!
