Hold it close to your heart
Protect it with your life
Nurture it with your love
Bathe it in pure water
Dry it with soft towels
Dress it tenderly in sparkling clothes
Feed it with nourishing food
Sing it to sleep with sweet, sweet lullabies
Soothe its cries with comforting caresses
Hold, protect, nurture, bathe, dry, dress, feed, sing,
soothe
This is what a mother does and must always do
Preparing for a Trip
Preparing for a lengthy trip is a big task. Once the
destination has been chosen and travel arrangements
have been made, other plans must be finalized Who
will check the mail? Who will water the plants? These
are the types of preparations that have to be completed
prior to the trip. First, travelers should decide
if they
are
going to be gone long enough for the post office to hold
the mail if the post office will not hold the mail, it is a
good idea to ask a friend or neighbor to collect the mail
Next, perhaps this same friend, or neighbor would be
willing to water the plants and yard while the
homeowner is away Another major arrangement that
may have to be made is finding a caregiver for a pet
