Subject: Hebrew Translation of a Phrase?

Question
Hi,

My Aunt has just lost her mother and I will be going to visit her.  I am an
artist and would like to create an original painting with the Hebrew
translation of this phrase incorporated into the design:

"A mother gives children two things, one is roots, the other wings."

Any help you could give me translating this would be so helpful and I would
appreciate it so much.  I've been painting Judaica for her for years and it
would be a comforting gift at this difficult time.  Thanks so much.

I'd need the translation Monday so I can begin to work on the painting.  My
family is flying out of state Wednesday for the visit.  That would give me just
enough time to paint an image of a tree with roots and enscribe the text.

Sincerely,
Courtney Thomas Barnes


Answer
Here it is:

"Ha'em notenet l'yladeiha wni dvarim: shorashim ve'knafayim".
