Beautiful post Jess, love the bamboo analogy. The replies in this thread have touched my heart and have prompted me to write a little poem dedicated to my mum, all the mothers on this forum and around the world...
Like the early morning sun that gives birth to a new day,
Like the luminescent moon that allows you to recuperate,
Like the fruits of the earth that enrich our bodies and mind,
Like the waves of the ocean that replenish our land and life,
Like the shelter a house provides to keep out the cold,
Like the clothes that protect us and keep in the warmth,
All are imperative to the sustenance of life,
Without which we wouldn't go far in our lives.
This I dedicate to you, my mother and friend,
Whose value and worth I never can explain,
Though words fall short to describe what you mean to me,
This humble attempt I hope will leave you pleased,
For all that you are and everything you do,
On this day mother, I thank you.
It's not great I know, but hopefully you all liked it! :)
My mum for me is an exemplary human being, she epitomises everything a woman and a mother should be. I feel blessed to be her daughter, and strive to be just like her. My guiding light and my strength in the darkest hour, a day without her is unimaginable. I have the utmost respect for mothers as they are the most selfless people to grace this planet, and like many of you have said, a gift from God. As my religion rightly teaches me...'Heaven lies under the feet of your mother.'
P.S. Tora and Vaish, your replies bought tears to my eyes. Your experiences once again hit home just how important and strong-willed mothers are...
Big hugs and love to all!
