All the things you treasure most will be the hardest won
I will watch you struggle long before the answers come
But I won’t make it harder, I’ll be there to cheer you on
I’ll shine the light that guides you down the road you’re walking on

So true. Makes me realize someone higher , more divine is watching all of us. Comforting, guiding, nurturing. Wonderful post as always. Take care.
So glad you liked the quote, island traveler. Our children are a sacred trust…
Like the speech of an Angel!
Thank you!
You’re quite welcome, Jeff!
Hi,
“All the things you treasure most will be the hardest won” that is so true.
A beautiful picture of Mother and Daughter.
It is true, for all of us, isn’t it? And watching our children struggle isn’t always easy, but they do have to find their own way to be happy…
Oh wow! If all parenting were so loving we’d have a very different world, indeed.
That’s for sure, Laurie. It’s a delicate art encouraging our children to find and follow their own paths, to cheer them on without hovering or interfering…
Hi. A lovely pairing of painting and poem. Jane
Thank you, Jane!
Extremely beautiful and worth! Barbara, I felt really good reading the quote, that despite the hard times, there is still someone to bring the cheer, despite all the struggle there is someone to shed the light on the path we choose. I’m feeling a lot better! thank you so much!!! 🙂
I’m so happy the lyrics inspired you, Sonali. The whole song is very touching, too.
Great painting – felt like weeping when I saw it.
Also love the quote.
You know, Rosie, whenever the song these lyrics are from comes around on my playlist, I stop what I’m doing and reflect a little on my mother and on my daughter – it’s very moving. The painting made me think of the song the moment I first saw it. I’m glad you loved it! (((hugs)))
