Handwritten note in greeting card<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For May 10, 1970 [Mother’s Day<\/em>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I begin to think about
the length and breadth and depth
of my own wisdom.
I wonder how I acquired it.
It begins with “Mother.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food and drink have not much taste
when one is not hungry or thirsty.
Whence my hunger and thirst for learning?
My mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You never said, “Do good deeds. Love your fellow man. Serve God.”
You have always done so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My birth,” I once asked, “Did it hurt you?”
“Yes,” you answered, “until they put you <\/span>in my arms.”
I trusted this and three times confirmed it profoundly true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of facts and ways I’ve stored up much
but meanings reach out from one early touchstone:
My mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body and spirt flower healthy and strong
watered with tears and
freely fed by the sunlight of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life begins and life endures
in the presence of pain, with joy
always hovering by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowledge, God willing, I will continue to acquire
but the wisdom you <\/span>taught will always inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God bless you and keep you.
I love you.
Bernice<\/p>\n\n\n\n
