A man went to the king of gods and said:

I want someone soft yet tough,

I want someone who has fathomless love,

I want someone with tremendous patience,

I want someone with tons of endurance!

God waited, the man continued:

I want someone to cook me tasty food,

And to wash my clothes,

And also to help me with my chores!

God smiled, and asked then?

I want someone to wipe my tears away,

I want someone to cheer my blues away,

I want someone to correct my wrongs,

I want someone to help me grow strong!

God cleared his throat and raised his brows:

I want someone to talk, yet listen,

I want someone to give me freedom, yet rein me in,

I want someone to heal my wounds,

And I want someone to be always there for me!

God smiled and replied:

It’s a tall order indeed.

But, you do have your MOTHER.
