The Mother's heart, the hero's will, <br />The softest flowers' sweetest feel; <br /> <br />The charm and force that ever sway <br />The altar-fire's flaming play; <br /> <br />The strength that leads, in love obeys; <br />Far-reaching dreams, and patient ways, <br /> <br />Eternal faith in Self, in all, <br />The light Divine in great, in small; <br /> <br />All these and more than I could see, <br />Today may 'Mother' grant to thee!<br /><br />Swami Vivekananda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-blessing-7/
