I wrote this line not to long ago --- Sometimes courage is
what it takes to stand up and talk and sometimes its what it takes to sit down
and listen. Some say strength is in
numbers – although this may be true – strength to me is indomitable will. The strength to go on when all else fails –
the will that is not easily discouraged.
We can grasp all the energy we like from everything around us but its
our inner strength that gives us the drive to make the difference. When we see our children crying – where does
the mother get that inner strength from to find a way to dry those tears and
put a smile on her childs face. We watch
our parents grow old and we bear the pain of seeing them in a capacity maybe us
to will find ourselves in one day – yet
still we miss the lesson. I have
considered certain people a pillar of strength for me because as I look
at their lives the strength I gain in the knowledge of their yesterday is the
strength I need for the guidance of my tomorrow. When I think about true strength my mind goes
off to the mothers – the ones that love UNCONDITIONALLY. I remember not to long ago – I called my mom
and I said to her “Mom there is a house not far from me I want to buy – gosh I
wish I had the money for it” she
asked - how much is it – I told her the
cost – she did not say anything – we spoke about other things and I ended the
conversation. The next day I called and
she was sounding very sad – I asked – what is wrong ? she was in tears – her exact words were –“ I
have nothing to give you so you can buy the house – I don’t have any money to
give you – I wish I did” – I kept silent – as I realized even in my dreams of
tomorrow – its still a part of her dream to make it happen – as big as I am –
the unconditional love is always there. This
to me is the strength we rely on – the memories live in our minds and project a
foundation that we grow on.
We often wonder where we will find the strength to do what
we need to - its found in sooo many
places – the tears of our parents, the
touch of a hand, the smile of a newborn,
the crashing sound of the waves, the
stars in the sky, the sunsets, the
sunrise, a postcard, a hug, the warmth
of an angel, a childs smile, the loss of a loved one but most of all the
strongest of it all is found within.
Find the inner strength within you and touch the world. Whatever life throws at you – find the
strength to keep calm and bring forth the beauty of yourself – smile – lift
your head up and look around you – u will realize that your strength is as
radiant as you are.
i love this one as a mom and daughter thanks
