The child

chana

A fatherless woman who tries to be whole can’t make me feel whole about mine. 

A careless woman can’t mend her mistakes without creating ones in the way.

A brave woman can not face fear without installing it in her child.

A lonely woman can not curse the opposite sex without passing it along. 

A poor woman can not feed herself without taking food from someone else mouth.

A broken woman can not blame herself for broken children.

A child can only absorb everything and feel at their expense .
