 Reflections of a Mother... 

I gave you life, but cannot live it for you. 
I can teach you things, but I cannot make you learn. 
I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to 
   lead you. 
I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it. 
I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe. 
I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always 
   decide for you. 
I can buy you beautiful clothes, but I cannot make you 
   beautiful inside. 
I can offer you advice, but I cannot accept it for you. 
I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you. 
I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish. 
I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show 
   honor. 
I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose them
   for you. 
I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure. 
I can tell you the facts of life, but I can't build your
   reputation. 
I can tell you about drink, but I can't say "no" for you. 
I can warn you about drugs but I can't prevent you from
   using them. 
I can tell you about lofty goals, but I can't achieve them
   for you. 
I can teach you about kindness, but I can't force you to 
   be gracious. 
I can warn you about sins, but I cannot make you moral 
I can love you as a child, but I cannot place you in G-d's
   family. 
I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with G-d. 
I can teach you about Jesus, but I cannot make Jesus
   your Lord. 
I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal
   life 
I can love you with unconditional love all of my life.....
   and I will !!! 

Always , Mom
