The Hand That Rocks The Cradle - On Mother's Day
TO MY MOTHER |
My little baby lies along my arm, |
And, looking at her there, the glad tears press, |
And, like a tidalwave of tenderness, |
The years of love since I lay cradled so — |
Unfathomed love enfolding me from harm — |
Return and flood my life. For now I know. |

Mahvalous Maven! What beautiful women you have in your family!
I discovered you via a podcast on Genealogy Gems. This post is wonderful and a great inspiration for other attorneys who want to have non-legal passions. Thank you!cah
Susie:
Loved the cat and the stones and being left alone in the Dr.'s office. You have a wry sense of humor.
A non-legal passion is necessary for my sanity. Someone once told me that the practice of law would be great if it weren't for clients and other attorneys.
