Children, look in those eyes, listen to that
dear voice, notice the feeling of even a single
touch that is bestowed upon you by that gentle
hand! Make much of it while yet you have
that most previous of all gifts, a loving
mother. Read the unfathomable love of those
eyes; the kind anxiety of that tone and look,
however slight your pain. In afterlife, you
may have friends, fond, dear friends, but
never will you have again the inexpressible
love and gentleness lavished upon you,
which none but a mother bestows.
~ Thomas Macaulay
