Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault. - Louisa May Alcott

Don't mind me. I'm as happy as a cricket here.

The clocks were striking midnight and the rooms were very still as a figure glided quietly from bed to bed, smoothing a coverlid here, settling a pillow there, and pausing to look long and tenderly at each unconscious face, to kiss each with lips that mutely blessed, and to pray the fervent prayers which only mothers utter.

The fun and fame do not last, while the memory of a real helper is kept green long after poetry is forgotten and music silent.
