Mother’s love is unconditional

Happy Mother’s Day!:

Our lives revolve around our mothers when we are small because from our infancy we are utterly dependent on our mother’s for our existence.

We cannot do anything without our mothers and they are readily there to meet all our needs. However, as we grow older and become capable of taking care of ourselves some of us tend to distance ourselves from our mothers and not show them the love and respect we ought to give them .

Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that from the moment we were conceived a mother not only risks her life to give life to us but also sacrifices so much to nurture us and give us the love, warmth and care needed to become who we are today.

 There is simply no one in the world who will love and cherish us as much as a mother would . She gives us unconditional love because mother is the fountain of love.

Even though we in Sri Lanka are traditionally taught to love and respect our parents and elders many tend to neglect their parents today due to the hectic pace of life . They have little or no time to show a mother how much she is loved and appreciated.

So ,on this Mother’s Day let’s pay a tribute to all mothers who toil so much for their children. There is simply no way we can ever really thank mother for all she has done for us except to strive and become what she wants us to be.

Mothers Day is the perfect day to celebrate the joys of having a mother. It is the time to make amends for not being able to spend quality time with her.

Turn your wrongs into rights by making all efforts to give a perfect Mother’s Day to your mother.

“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you willalways find forgiveness.”

Honore’ de Balzac (1799-1850)

**********

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

-- Washington Irving (1783-1859)

Angel of my home

The angel of my home is my beloved mother. She carried me in her stomach for nine long months risking her own life.

Do you know that the maximum units of pain an average human being could take is 44 units but a mother bears 54 units of pain when she is pregnant and giving birth? In the Oxford Dictionary, the meaning of the word mother is given as just a female parent, but a mother is lot more than this.

There are some heartless mothers who give birth to a child and throws him or her in to a dustbin or some other place. Perhaps such a mother can be described as simply a ‘female parent’ because all she does is giving birth.

A mother’s job is the hardest in this world. A mother’s responsibility doesn’t end in just giving birth to a child. She has a huge responsibility in nurturing the child after giving birth. A mother loves you more than anyone else in the world.Some mothers give birth not to just one baby but many. A mother will never be fed up with the number of children she has!

My mother’s name is Deepika. She fed me when I was hungry by turning her own blood into milk. She is the best mother ever and I love her a lot.

Wait mum, wait...

She gave me the warmth of a mother

Which can’t be given by any other

Her deepest love towards me is perfect

It hasn’t lessened even now

She enlightened me about the things she knew

She taught me what life is

And how to live in it

Questions and problems puzzled me

But, she helped me answer them perfectly

Every moment, everywhere she is with me

Her glorious love lights my whole life

Thank you mum...

For offering your whole life for me

Sometimes you cry deep within your heart

I could see that,

Then your eyes are filled with tears of sorrow

Wait mum, wait....

I’ll add value to your tears,

When I became a great personality

Of this society

I’ll fulfil all your dreams

So, wait mum, wait...

She is very precious

My mother’s name is Ashika. She gave birth to me and named me “Ashvini”.

She taught me good habits and also how to respect elders. She also told me the importance of neatness.

Her food preparations are very tasty. Without her help I cannot do anything. When I come home after school she feeds me. She helps me with my studies. When I go to sleep she holds me close to her and tells me stories. When I am ill she looks after me without even sleeping.When I go to school, my mother tells me to take care of myself. I pray to God to take good care of her.

The most important person in my life is my mother. I love her very much. My mother is very precious to me.
