Charity (La Charite)


The quest of life to unfold
Beyond the call of coins gold
Charity ever the heart's treasure
Known be its gift beyond all measure
WISDOM and GOD'S loving command
Devotion with TRUTH'S guiding hand.

Rose Marie Raaccioppi

ROSE_MARIE-

I have often felt like this wonderful Mother - like I just didn't have enough milk (nourishment) for the needs of those coming to me to be 'fed', sometimes literally. And yet, in life, not so literal at all. And so is the challenge of motherhood and mothering.

Love to you my friend
Gail
peace.....

Gail, Yes, motherhood faces the challenge of perceived need and ability to give. From all that you have shared Gail, I know this is ever an open question. As our children grow to adulthood, the challenge becomes ever newly defined.

Brian, Charity indeed.
