Only a Mother
ONLY A MOTHER
Only a mother truly understands when her child says
I wish my wife is like my mother.
Only a mother carries a baby in her belly,
only mothers breast feed babies,
buys the wardrobes and does the laundry,
cooks the meals and does the dishes.
She also provides other needs in absence of the father…
Who can replace a person’s mother?
Her time at home is spent like at work.
Try lifting what some mothers carry from the market
without assistance or any means of transportation.
Only a mother can tell, even at that,
just as you have various models of vehicles,
there are many different types of mothers.
Only a mother truly understands when her child says
my mum is my number one woman.
It’s not the father but the mother who takes the blame of the child.
Only a mother cries after she beats her child,
she stays up when the child can’t sleep.
It’s not the father but the mother, who backed the child.
Only she knows, only she truly understands,
only a mother prays the most for her child…
