Yes, Mother, you are right<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You were right, Mother, when you said that whatever may come,<\/p>\n

we can only tell each other what there is to be told<\/p>\n

looking each other in the eye,<\/p>\n

feeling each other,<\/p>\n

touching one another\u2019s soul,<\/p>\n

loving each other by being together, into each other\u2019s look and only<\/p>\n

face to face.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You were right, Mother, when you kept telling us<\/p>\n

to love each other<\/p>\n

because love is the meaning of life.<\/p>\n

You were right to tell us again and again,<\/p>\n

and never enough,<\/p>\n

sometimes you only called to tell us<\/p>\n

to love each other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You were right to keep telling us to be clever and wise,<\/p>\n

you meant to say we must keep polishing our thoughts<\/p>\n

until they bring out the diamond inside.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You sometimes called:<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Ok, then. There\u2019s nothing that I have to say.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Still, why have you called?\u2019\u2019 I would ask.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Love each other, dear. That\u2019s all.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Oh, Mother, you\u2019re kidding me. Are you real?\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, Mother, you are right.<\/p>\n

Thank you for having told us,<\/p>\n

we might have never known otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
