Hi :)
Mother's Day, a very important day to celebrate the best
moms in the world! Perhaps you're tired of trying to find the perfect
gift to give her? I've designed this beautiful piece to help you out and
show mom just how much she means to you, something she can always
cherish and I promisE it's something she will never forget! :)
Around
the bottle is an assortment of sizes of roses and rose buds in light
pinks, darker pinks and red, all hand sculpted from clay. They are
sitting amidst a lush greenery. There are twelve roses in total, a
perfect dozen that will not die after a week :) Each rose and leaf have
some pigments brushed on for a dewy glowing look to them that just looks
beautiful in the light.
Inside the bottle is the best part, a
burned scroll paper wrapped in a satiny ribbon, this has to be one of my
favorite poems of all, if you can call it a poem, but the entirety of
it is all there for your mom to read and enjoy, it reads as follows:
While
the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was well into his sixth day of
overtime. Then an angel appeared and said, "You're doing a lot of
fiddling around on this one!"
And the Lord said, "Have you read the specifications of this order?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic...
Have 180 movable parts, all replaceable...
Run on black coffee and leftovers...
Have a lap that disappears when she stands up...
And a kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg...
To a disappointed love affair...
Plus she has to have six pairs of hands!"
The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands!!?? Not possible!"
"Oh,
its not the hands that are causing Me the problem," said the Lord.
"It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."
"That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.
The
Lord nodded. "One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks,
'What are you kids doing in there?' --- when she already knows...
Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't, --- but what she has to know...
And
of course, the ones here in front that can look at a child and reflect,
--- 'I understand, and I love you' without so much as saying a word."
"Lord," said the angel touching His sleeve gently, "Get some rest. Finish this tomorrow."
"I can't," answered the Lord. "I'm so close to creating something so close to Myself.
Already I have one that heals herself when she's sick...
Can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger...
And can get a nine-year-old to stand under a shower."
The angel circled the model of the mother very slowly and sighed, "But it's too soft!"
"And yet she's tough!" said the Lord excitedly. "You cannot imagine what the mother can handle or do!"
"Can it think?" asked the angel.
"Not only think, but it can reason and compromise!" answered the Creator.
Finally
the angel bent over and ran her fingers across the mother's cheek.
"There's a leak!" she pronounced. "I told You, You were trying to put
too much in this model! You can't ignore the stress factor."
The
Lord moved in closer for a look and gently lifted the drop of moisture
to His finger where it glistened and sparkled in the light. "It's not a
leak," He said. "It's a tear."
"A tear?" asked the angel. "What's it for?"
"It's for Joy, Sadness, Disappointment, Compassion, Pain, Loneliness, and Pride."
And the angel exclaimed, "You're a genius!"
The Lord looked somber and replied, "I didn't put it there."
The
glass bottle is about 1 1/2 inches tall and this pendant comes with a
18'' cable style silver plated chain with a spring ring closure.
This piece comes in a gift box and is bubble wrapped for extra precaution.
