If you were to add up the salaries for all the jobs that a mother performs throughout the year, how much would her services be worth? According to a report in 'The Washington Post', she would recieve $508,700 a year! This figure is based on a study of median salaries for occupations that mothers typically perform. These are some of the 17 occupations included in the report, along with their average annual salary: Child-care worker, $13,000; bus driver, $32,000; psychologist, $29,000; animal caretaker $17,000; registered nurse $35,000; excutive chef, $40,000; and general office clerk, $19,000. According to Ric Eldemen, chairman of the financial services company that conducted the study, these figures do not take into account such expenses as Social Security and other retired benefits. . . Repost: A namesake kin a mother's touch the breath of life her endless love. Her swollen dreams the growing watch are mother's gifts we gain a spot. Like an open moon she leaves her mind, like a common poet her reasons rhyme. The burden light we tow the line for mother's love we make the time. His master's voice wound up to spin played yesterday and fashioned friends and mother's breast held fantasies were playgrounds where young hearts were free and Jolson's made me love you lines were heard when new born infants cried. Dear mother's care pursues on call like sun shines through a waterfall, like snow melts in suns of spring and little things like mother's wing. Lying words disguised as wise fall on mother's love that never dies. Her breast loved champions arise with mother's love the guiding light. His masters's voice wound up to spin played love songs to young mothers when golden dawns brought days of peace and candlelight brought easy sleep. True rhapsodies flowed through the point with analogs for mother's joy. Celtrue2000@E3B1G9 The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to re-language historie [This message has been edited by ethome (edited 04-27-2001).] |
