Tribute to Mothers

A Tribute to all Mothers

By Glenn Oliver

There is a saying,"There is no love like a mother’s love."

The only love on the earth which does not shift its position is mother's love. Every mother knows when her presence is required, when to stay behind the screen and when to extend her loving hand and comforting shoulders.

The mother is born the moment the child is born, every time she is a new mother and this role adds a new dimension to her life as a woman. A mother can share her love among her entire family and make everyone feel special. There is no substitute for the unwavering support, depth, and strength of a mother's love. At times, love may be unsure, but a mother's love is not.

Like mother like daughter is quoted often. The tendency of young daughters to mirror the attitudes and reactions of their mothers is well documented and every mother knows this from experience. Mothers realize that their responsibility of bringing up their daughter is a daily activity and they perform their role with ease and love.

Mother's Day is celebrated in most countries. Abraham Lincoln said - "All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." That is a worthy compliment to give mom this Mother's Day!

In the United States , Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. In the United Kingdom it is "Mothering Sunday" on the fourth Sunday. Days may vary, but the global feeling on mother is the same.

Silence speaks volumes. Yes, that is true between a mother and her children. When we grow up and leave our mother's care, we often do not know how to show our appreciation to our mothers apart from a kiss and a hug. When we are grown up and away, we start to feel the absence, warmth of mother's love and long for it.

Many of us do not admit this feeling except to ourselves. But every mother knows this as she also feels the same, but for most mothers, nature has equipped them to handle this situation. Mothers give give courage and strength by their words and messages and make sure that we get over this developmental challenge with minimum hardships.

Silent gratitude has to change. Mother's Day falls on May 14th this year. Mark it and send a special gift or gifts to your mother. Gift ideas include flowers, electronic gadgets, subscriptions, books, gift baskets, or jewelry with a personal message. You should also call Mom and wish her a Happy Mother's Day, if it is not possible to visit her on this special day. This Mother’s Day celebrate your mother and let her know that she is truly special.
