Pass It On

To Our Daughters

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
They are both Strong 'ladies'

“I am a strong woman

because

a strong woman raised me”

When we think about

how Strong our mothers are,

it’s no wonder

we become Strong ourselves.

Physically,

she carried us through nine months of Life

in her womb.

Physically,

she gave birth to us,

possibly spending many hours

in labour.

Physically,

she raised us by

bathing us,

changing our nappies,

dressing us,

feeding us and

carrying us right up

until we could

’fend for ourselves’.

During all of these years,

we learned so much

from our mothers

that we don’t always ‘realize’

what our mothers taught us.

Self-care.

Self-love.

How to make sacrifices.

Independence.

Gratitude.

Determination.

In Fact,

If we wrote down Everything,

how many books would it fill?

When we think about a mother’s Love,

we see Mother Nature

at Her Strongest!

I always think

that my mother was Stronger

than any Suffragette.

For those of us

who have been lucky enough

to have had a mother,

it really is a Blessing

that we should never take for granted.

She taught us

how to overcome Life’s challenges

possibly

even without saying a word.

When we look at our mothers,

we see Strength and Resilience.

And many of us

pass “This” onto our daughters.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
