“You may have tangible wealth untold;Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.Richer than I you will never be-I had a mother who read to me.”

“You may have tangible wealth untold;Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.Richer than I you can never be -I have a mother who read to me.”

“You may have tangible wealth untold; caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be. I had a mother who read to me.”

“I have in my head things I may not have exactly seen, just as you who read this have me.”

“There is so much I could say about myself, but I wish you know only this; at times I may be bitter, at times I may be sweet; do not judge me on one character or the other. I have more facets than a jewel, I ask that you understand all of me before you judge me. No one side of my personality is bigger than another, just as no one emotion claims me all the time.”

“I hadn’t had a mother since I was two, and from then until seven I had believed God was someone who had run off with her and was living with her somewhere else... (God took your mother, dear, because he needed her more than you do) which had never endeared him to me”
