A mother’s heart

A mother’s heart is always with her children.

She is homesick when away from them. Happy when surrounded by them, elated when they do well, saddened when their choices hurt them.

Yet, is is in their companionship, that she finds the strength and courage to get up each day, go about her work, be diligent and motivated to stand up for her herself, press on when it’s tough, not be weary or tired, cos she cannot give in to those vices — they rob the soul of the very purpose of life.

She presses on, determined to do what’s right, brave in the face of injustice, stand up to bullies, demand fairness, march for freedom, for it is in these very acts that her soul grows wings, flying close to heaven.
