“A mother is our unwavering friend in childhood and adulthood, in all stages of life. With mother’s love, our world lights up like a starry sky, without her love, it is all darkness like a starless night.” ~ By Poet
I wake up everyday hearing my mother’s call In her eyes I am still a baby, too small She hurries me to brush my teeth and comb my hair Till I leave for school, in all I do, she is there Back from school, after a little rest each day, With friends I cheerfully run and play At times my mom insists that I should sit and learn And makes me read my books like a master stern If ever in any difficulty I chance to land With great concern, she holds my hand Whether I am at work or play She is always there to show me the way When night comes and light is out My mother tucks me in my bed devout She bids me sleep with a whispered prayer That no wicked elves or ghouls come near My mother is my all time Guide She is always there by my side When she is around, nothing I fear And feel secure under her loving care.

Mothers are the world's only true rock. It's only till you bring up your own kids that you realise this.
