LESSONS FROM MUMMA
"When it came to listening
My mother taught me silence. 'If you are drowning their voice with yours
How will you hear them?'
She asked.
• • •
"When it came to speaking
She said,
'Do it with commitment
Every word you say is your own responsibility' • • •
"When it came to being
She said,
'Be tender and tough at once.
You need to be vulnerable to live fully
But tough enough to survive it all.'
• • •
"When it came to choosing
She asked me to be thankful
For the choices I had
That she never had the privilege
Of making."
