And, in as much, so did quotes from ....... A Lantern in her Hand .....by Bess Streeter Aldrich!
"...... LOVE is more like a light that your carry.
At first childish happiness keeps it lighted
and after that romance.
Then MOTHERHOOD
lights it and then duty and maybe after that sorrow.
Yes, I think that
LOVE is ..............to a woman
.... a lantern in her hand."

As, so many times, in the deepest of the darkness of the darkest hours, the LIGHT from our mothers shines ....... and leads us through.
Mother and a lantern of LOVE in her hand.

For a mother, her child is her own heartbeats. And..
For from the bottom of her heart,
"Because the road was steep and long,
And through a dark and lonely land,
God set upon my lips a song,
And put a lantern in my hand."
That is a real comfort a mother could render to her child.
And that is a true art of comfort.
