Mother's Day

Mother

Mother is she who spends sleepless night to make you sleep
Mother is she who understands you from the very deep…
Mother is she who will laugh and cry along with you….
Mother is she who teaches how to drink, eat and how to chew…

Mother is she who scolds you for your good
Mother is she who will support you in any mood…
Mother is she who accepts you in any situation…
Mother is she who motivates you for your every little creation…

Mother is she who gives you blessings at every step…
Mother is she who is always worried for your fate…
Mother is she who can catch you if at any moment you lie…
Mother is she who never wants to see her baby cry….

Mother is she who is different from all other…
Mother is she who is never comparable to any other…

We read that poem and say to ourselves, "Yes, that's exactly how my mother is." So if that's how our mother's are, why do we only spoil them one day of the year? Why must we all conform to society and celebrate mom only on Mother's Day? Send her Flowers only on Mother's Day or on her Birthday?

If Mom means so much to all of us, we shouldn't have to get together as a society and decide that this one day all of us should take mom out to dinner, spoil her with gifts and then tomorrow resume treating her like our maid and a "normal" family member.

People if we are treating our mother's or wives with disrespect and are taking them for granted every other day of the year, please don't expect that one day to change the way she sees you. Treat her as you would normally, because the fact of the matter is, she is just going to see you as hypocrites who will go back to being disrespectful the next day.

You want to be nice to Mother on Mother's Day? Then show her Mother's Day each and every day of your life. This is the woman who gave birth to you, did your laundry, cooks your food and loves you no matter what. Husbands, the same goes to you. This is the woman, who most likely is the 'grown up' of the two, does the laundry, cooks your food cleans up after you....etc. Yes, husband you are another child to add to the list.

So please respect your mother and love her no matter what day it is. A simple hug and thank you go a long way.

Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family.  Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted.  ~Paul Pearshall
