A MOTHER'S LOVE
ONE DAY GOD CALLED THREE ANGELS AND SAID, "GO AND FIND
THE MOST PERFECT THING IN ALL THE WORLD THAT'S LEFT AMONG
MANKIND.
THE FIRST ONE FOUND A LILY, THE FAIREST OF THE FAIR.
AND SAID, "THIS IS PERFECTION SO I'LL TAKE IT WITH ME THERE."
THE SECOND ONE FOUND A BABY'S SMILE AND SAID , "THIS MUST
SURELY BE
THE MOST PERFECT THING IN ALL THE WORLD SO I'LL TAKE IT BACK
WITH ME."
THE THIRD ONE SEARCHED UNTIL HE FOUND A MOTHER'S PERFECT LOVE
AND SAID, "I'LL TAKE IT BACK WITH ME TO MY FATHER UP ABOVE."
THE DAY FINALLY CAME AND GOD SAID, "NOW LET US SEE WHICH ONE OF
YOU
HAS REALLY BROUGHT THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT TO ME."
THE LILY HAD WITHERED AND WAS NO MORE ALL ITS LEAVES HAD DIED.
THE BABY'S SMILE COULDN'T BE BROUGHT BACK NO MATTER HOW HARD
THEY TRIED.
ONLY THE MOTHER'S LOVE REMAINED, THE SAME AS AT THE START,
THE MOST PERFECT THING IN ALL THE WORLD BECAUSE IT CAME FROM
WITHIN THE HEART.
