Now hath my life across a stormy sea  Like a frail bark reached that wide port where all  Are bidden, ere the final reckoning fall Of good and evil for eternity.

Those amorous thoughts which were so lightly dressed,  What are they when the double death is nigh?  The one I know for sure, the other dread. Painting nor sculpture now can lull to rest  My soul that turns to His great love on high,  Whose arms to clasp us on the cross were spread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.
