What a mother should be

 

A mother is the one who loves you
A mother puts no drug above you
A mother will never make you cry
A mother will never make you want to die
A mother will help you fight your fears
A mother will help you stop your tears
A mother will keep you safe and sound
A mother will never let you down
A mother will daily say I love you
A mother won’t say I hate you
A mother won’t wish you were dead
A mother won’t forget what you said
A mother won’t close the door
A mother won’t let you be poor
?Now I ask you, do you have a mother 

Cause’ I don’t, so don’t bother

Mother’s definition

 

 
 

Mother’s definition

 

Mother’s love is deeper than ocean
Mother’s lesson is bigger than the sky

Mother’s lap is more comfortable than the warm bed
Mother’s tale is better than the best novel on this earth 

Mother’s picture is more beautiful than a fascinating scenery
Mother’s blessings are more powerful than the thousands of seas
Mother’s shade is cooler than the shade of heavy laden trees
Mother’s light is brighter than the sun
Mother’s role is seventy times greater than the father 

 
Mother’s place is more sacred than any shrine
Mother’s care higher than the heaven
