Mother's Day

It's Mother's day. For most of us, its family time.

A time for us to gather, to appreciate our mum and make the day special for her.

What is a mum?

A mum is someone whom we turn to when things go wrong and she will wipe the hurt away.

A mum is the bank we deposit our fears, our tears, our problems, our hopes and dreams.

A mum is the cement and rock of our family, that keeps the fanmily together in good times and in bad.

It takes a Mother's Love to make a house a home,

A place to be remembered,no matter where we roam.

It takes a Mother's Patience,to bring a child up right,

And her Courage and her Cheerfulness to make a dark day bright.
It takes a Mother's Thoughtfulness to mend the heart's deep "hurts,"

And her Skill and her Endurance to mend little socks and shirts.

It takes a Mother's Kindness to forgive us when we err,

To sympathize in trouble and bow her head in prayer.

It takes a Mother's Wisdom to recognize our needs

And to give us reassurance by her loving words and deeds.

It takes a Mother's Endless Faith,her Confidence and Trust

To guide us through the pitfalls of selfishness and lust.

And that is why in all this world there could not be another,

Who could fulfill God's purpose as completely as a MOTHER!

Bless all our mothers for they are special.

Happy Mother's Day.
