MOTHERS
 
 Real Mothers don't eat quiche; <o:p></o:p>

They don't have time to make it.
 
 Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils <o:p></o:p>

Are probably in the sandbox.
 
 Real Mothers often have sticky floors, <o:p></o:p>

Filthy ovens and happy kids.
 
 Real Mothers know that dried play dough <o:p></o:p>

Doesn't come out of carpets.
 
 Real Mothers don't want to know what <o:p></o:p>

The vacuum just sucked up.
 
 Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?' <o:p></o:p>

And get their answer when a little
 Voice says, 'Because I love you best..'
 
 Real Mothers know that a child's growth <o:p></o:p>

Is not measured by height or years or grade... <o:p></o:p>

It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother...
 
 The Images of Mother
 
 4 YEARS OF A GE - My Mommy can do anything!
 
 8 YEARS OF A GE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
 
 12 YEARS OF A GE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
 
 14 YEARS OF A GE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.
 
 16 YEARS OF A GE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
 
 18 YEARS OF A GE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
 
 25 YEARS OF A GE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!
 
 35 YEARS OF A GE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
 
 45 YEARS OF A GE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
 
 65 YEARS OF A GE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom
 
 The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
 
 The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, <o:p></o:p>

Because that is the doorway to her heart, <o:p></o:p>

The place where love resides. <o:p></o:p>

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, <o:p></o:p>

But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. <o:p></o:p>

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she
 Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
