I have to chuckle, as I have quite a few "trimmin's" myself.Karla in MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549865420783308819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463563732011894726.post-77041764051106957002012-05-12T12:51:34.568+10:002012-05-12T12:51:34.568+10:00Kari,

With all those trimmin's prayer time must have seemed very long to the children, but the poet looks back with such love and gratitude. That Irish mother is a good example to all of us, isn't she? <br /><br />I have another of John O'Brien's poems to post next week. It is also about a mother and the Rosary, and is a heart touching story.<br /><br />God bless, Kari!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463563732011894726.post-52204829080368879362012-05-12T11:22:31.507+10:002012-05-12T11:22:31.507+10:00I love this!

Many nights, I could use a little of that old Irish mother's discipline in keeping the children foucsed and reverent. Maybe we should add some "trimmin's," asking God for greater self-control and respect! :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189228866239286310noreply@blogger.com
