Since the moment I could feel, I felt the most unique and pure feeling for the person whose heartbeat matched mine. In that little bag of amniotic fluid, floating in the warmth of her womb, I felt safe. And finally when I came out and saw the tears of joy running down her cheeks in the midst of the pains of labour, my little heart leapt and I knew that face was the face of my first love.
My mother's smile brought my first smile to my face, my first tears of joy were at the sight of her beautiful face and my first laughter at the sound of her voice. As I grew up she never left my side, bringing me up in the right way ,teaching me that I could be whatever I wanted, that I could dream and reach for the stars. She taught me to love God and to love all humans.
I begin my day with a prayer for my mum and end my day praying for her. The only person in the entire world that can love me more than she loves herself,that can starve for me to eat, displease herself to please me and toil day and night to see me smile. When I was hurting,my mum was dying and when I had nightmares my mum couldn't sleep. I cannot imagine my world without my mother, the reason I am who and where I am, the woman I pray everyday to be, my queen and my one true love.
Mothers are a gift from God, an evidence of God's love for mankind. A world without mothers would have been worthless and devoid of love, laughter and joy. The only creatures that can love unconditionally and when God created mothers he created love. Happy mother's day to all wonderful mothers all over the world. Our world is incomplete without you all.
