A MOTHER’S WORTH Just how do you determine a mother’s worth? Extracted and purified from the salt of the earth. Worth far more than mountains made of the purest of gold. Her heart holds infinite treasures yet to behold. She will bear the pain of her children so they will feel nothing. Forsake herself to […]
PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL “KNOW WHO YOU ARE” Tussled, intertwined tresses flow down her narrow back side. She entered the world with her eyes open wide. Beauty paled only by a graceful allure.
