The young mother set her foot on the path of life. " Is this the long way?'' she asked.

And mother said, " I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone, and their children after them."

The children said, " You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have gone through the gates." And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her.
