Honor your father and mother.

Then you will live a long, full life in the land

the LORD your God will give you. Exodus 20:12

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body

and knit me together in my mother's womb.

Psalm 139:13

A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.

She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:

"Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Proverbs 31:10-12 and 25-31

A mother is a person who seeing there are

only four pieces of pie for five people,

You don't really understand human nature

unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round

will wave at his parents every time around

in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being.

I may sometimes forget the words

but I always remember the tune.
