The word MOTHER of six alphabets is effortless to speak and write irrespectively in any tongue but more difficult to depict.
Even if we make ink by collecting all the water of seven oceans and make a pen out of the wood of all the trees, still we can’t express this word Mother completely.
Using an example, I attempted to convey the meaning of this word. As we all are aware that the roof on our heads makes us feel protected from rain, storm, hot rays of sun, chilled waves, animals etc. We feel and find ourselves safe and secure every time because of the roof. Same is the role of mother in one’s life. But it’s also true that we don’t always keep on looking at the roof. Mother is also like a roof over our heads, making us feel comfortable, secure, and protected. We don’t always say or make her realize it. And that’s the reality.
Mother protects children from all the ailments and the evil eyes of the world. I don’t know whether is there any paradise or heaven apart from the planet earth. But if you ask me is there any paradise on this planet? Then, undoubtedly, my answer would be it is the lap of mother. There is no else safe, secure, cozy and extreme bliss place than the lap of mother on earth.
Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year. It is a day that is observed in almost all the parts of the world. It has been celebrated for over a century. The sentiments behind the celebration of this auspicious day is only one, i.e., GRATITUDE. The biggest reason behind the celebration of this day is to pay gratitude to a person without whom our existence was not possible.
People typically show their love and appreciation for their mothers in various ways. Some buy flowers and gifts while other spend quality time with their mothers. They take their mothers out for a special meal and spend the day with them. The important thing of these activities is just to make our mothers feel loved, appreciated and special. The spirit behind these gatherings is to let our mothers know how much they mean to us.
As on 14 May this year we are celebrating Mother’s Day-2023. It is also important to acknowledge the challenges that mothers face in today’s world. Mother’s often bear the burnt of societal expectations. Whether it is in terms of juggling work and family responsibilities or dealing with the pressure to be perfect in their parenting. It is important to recognize and appreciate the hard work that mothers do and to support them in any way and at every step of life.
At last, but not the least we all must take a pledge on the Mother’s Day -2023 to save a to-be mother in the womb of a mother.
Happy Mother’s Day.
