(This is a meditation Mom wrote as she prepared for our family history trip to Scotland and Ireland in 2007.)
Mothers! Mothers! Bide with me
Whilst I go across the sea.
Agnes! Tough faith I must be.
Elizabeths! Elizabeth! Whose heart's in me.
Nellie's too, but Lizzie's strong.
Rose so sweet the whole day long.
Mothers! Mothers! Bide with me
Whilst I go across the sea.
(In addition, I carry a small picture of my mother Rachel Vella next to my heart.)
