My mom always kept newspaper articles and clippings that meant something to her. Here's one of them that means a lot to me too:
I might have been a Broadway star
Or a witty talk show hostess.
Or come up with a cure for colds
Or led a "No Nuke" protest.
I might have played at Wimbledon,
In front of kings and queens.
Or made it big in fashion--
With my own designer jeans.
I might have written novels
Or led a world crusade
Or climbed the corporate ladder
Or dealt in foreign trade.
I pondered the above and yet
I opted for another.
No salary, but the job's secure--
I chose to be a mother!
