The Time is Now!

This month on May 11 we celebrated Mother's Day.On June 15, we look forward to Father's Day. As food for spiritual thoughts,I would like to quote a poem from Robert Paul Moreno which surmise our feelings as a mother and a father:

The time is Now!

If you are ever going to love me
Love me now while I can know
All the sweet and tender feelings
From which the true affection flows

Love me now while I am still living
do not wait until I am gone
And then have it chiselled
in marble
Sweet words on ice-cold stone

If you have tender thoughts of me
Why not whisper them to me?
Don't you know it would
make me happy?
and as glad as can be

If you wait until I am sleeping
Never to waken here again
There will be walls
of earth between us
And I won't hear you then

I won't need your kind words
When the grass grows over my face
I won't crave your love and kisses
In my last low resting place

So if you love me,even a little bit
Let me know while I'm living
so that i can treasure it!
unquote

To our two children,Shu and Jin, we thank you for the laughter and the good time we share. When things gone bad,you will surely have our comforts and shoulders to cry on.

Happy Mother's day and Father's day to all mothers and fathers!
