I was given this many years ago but I still pull it out EVERY Mother's Day and read it because I love it so much. It shows how important mothers are in the world and how much we do. I thought I would share it will all you wonderful mothers out there. ENJOY!!
Without women, the whole world would be void of color. As far as the eye could see, all would be brown, black, flannel gray and metal chrome.
There would be no need for bright fuchsia flip-flops, pastel Post-it notes, or Perfectly Pink lipstick. Why, without women in the world, all the lawns would look just alike: flat, boring grass and a tightly trimmed hedge.
Who would plant petunias by the fence or impatiens under the trees or put daisies in a pot on the porch? Without women, there would be no jasmine on warm summer nights or roses to grace your table.
If all the women were gone, the whole wide world would be cold and staid and serious. There would be no giggling, or sidesplitting laughter, no more surprises parties or spontaneous songs.
Yes, there would be still be old silver spoons, but who would stop to collect them and mount them in eye-pleasing fashion? Without women who would suggest picnics in the park or dances after dark? And who in the world would snap all the family photographs? and then blog them for all to see (I added this part)
One thing is sure: If all the women were gone, the global community would collapse. There would be no need for shopping malls, department stores; Wal-Mart would stand deserted. Billions of people would have no work; once-happy folk would starve and roam homeless.
But this may be the very worst of all - if there were no more women on earth, who would kiss the newborn's cheeks or rock a baby when he cries or sing that child to sleep?
One final thought from me....thanks to all the wonderful women in my life that have been mothers to me, Jeff, and my children. I know my children have benefited from many "mothers" they have already had in their short lives who love and care about them. We LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!
