The Magic of a Mother’s Touch There’s magic in a Mother’s touch, and sunshine in her smile. There’s love in everything she does to make our lives worthwhile. We can find both hope and courage just by looking in her eyes. Her laughter is a source of joy, even when the words would hurt us, they are warm and wise, There is a kindness and compassion to be found in her embrace, and we see the light of heaven shining from a Mother’s face.

El que no llora no mama, Sigue, que te te voy a dar un cocotaso, se toca con los ojos y se mira con las manos, sana sana culito de rana si no san hoy sanará manana,
