MOTHERS

Mothers are God's greatest gift to humanity,
They are akin to angels bequethed to us from heaven above.
They carried us in their wombs, enduring hours of pain in labour with nary a complain.
They have a heart that's bigger than life,
Putting our happiness before their own,
loving us unconditionally.
They're our first teachers, our beacon of light,
Always guiding, always nurturing, always encouraging.
They're our Helpline 24 hours a day,
Doing what they do with a smile and zero judgement.
A mother's journey is long and arduous,
Each day brings a new beginning, and new challenges.
Through it all, she loves us and endeavours by her kind precepts to dissipate the clouds of darkness.
So let us honour mothers the world over,
For the wonderful, selfless beings that they truly are.
Respect them, love them, cherish them,
For mothers are more valuable than precious jewels, they are the keys of life!
Thank you, mothers, for your gifts;
Gifts of life and love; gifts of tenacity and strength, you are...
AMAZING!

Happy Mother's Day to the supermums and to all who assume the roles of mothers in their absence.
