Mothers truly are music to our hearts.

As the poem Mother-Song discussed earlier in this issue, mothers seem to have a special way of looking at every one and everything in the world with love.

Even the most dastardly fink has a mother, and we feel certain in our hearts that she loves him!

God, thank you for mothers:  mothers who, as our poem suggested, sing much needed songs of love and forgiveness,  songs which our weary, chaotic world so desperately needs to hear.
