A respite from the typical
community commentary is
replaced by a humble attempt
to pay proper homage to the
heroic, altruistic women that
sacrifi ce to ensure our families
and communities prosper.
From all of us at the Spencer
Estate Civic Association:
HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY
There are things in our
world that transcend unequivocal
defi nition. Beautiful
things, avoidant of proper
articulations; however,
deeply felt within our hearts
and rooted within our minds.
A Mother’s love truly fi ts that
description. The following
short poem by Rudyard Kipling
describes the eternal
and unconditional love of a
Mother for her child.
Mother o’ Mine
Rudyard Kipling, 1865 – 1936
If I were hanged on the
highest hill, Mother o’ mine,
O mother o’ mine!
I know whose love would
follow me still, Mother o’
mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were drowned in the
deepest sea, Mother o’ mine,
O mother o’ mine!
I know whose tears would
come down to me, Mother o’
mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were damned of body
and soul, I know whose
prayers would make me
whole, Mother o’ mine, O
mother o’ mine!
Mother is the bedrock that
carries the weight of a family.
Mother is the glue that holds
families together. Mother is
the dedicated motivator that
inspires our communities.
Thank you to all the hard
working mothers. You are
the role models for our future
leaders and caretakers of our
communities. Like a Mother’s
love, our deep affections
and appreciations for all of
you transcend words. Thank
you for caring. Happy Mother’s
Day to you!
Community Footnotes:
A new business is coming
to our neighborhood: Country
Club Diner and Grill will be
opening at 3284 Ampere Avenue
in between Library and
Bayview Avenues. Dialogue
with business owner Ed Kelley
suggests the beginnings
of a nice neighborly relationship.
Mr. Kelley is slated to
make his S.L.A. presentation
to CB 10 on May 4th. We wish
him the best of luck.
Spencer Estate Civic Association
remains optimistic
about conducting an in
person May meeting. Details
will be released once terms
and conditions are fi nalized.
Our community has traditionally
exhibited a “We
are Family” attitude. Communicate;
make that phone
call, text message, or email.
Please check on family,
friends, and neighbors
especially the elderly and
vulnerable. Any area homeowner
or renter interested
in membership to the Spencer
