Mother, how are you today?
Today, how are you mother?
Mother, today how are you?
Today, mother how are you?
Honor your mother, let's sing with mum ...! Your father too ...
"Why are you crying?" he asked his mom.
"Because I'm a mother," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.
His mom just hugged him and said, "You never
will!"
Later the little boy asked his father why Mother seemed
to cry for no reason.
"All mothers cry for no reason," was all his
dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering
why mothers cry. So he finally put in a call to God and
when God got on the phone the man said, "God, why do
mothers cry so easily."
God said, "You see son, when I made mothers they had
to be special. I made their shoulders strong enough to
carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give
comfort. I gave them an inner strength to endure
childbirth and the rejection that many times come from
their children.
"I gave them a hardiness that allows them to keep
going when everyone else gives up, and to take care of
their families through sickness and fatigue without
complaining.
"I gave them the sensitivity to love their children
under all circumstances, even when their child has hurt
them very badly. This same sensitivity helps them to make
a child's boo-boo feel better and helps them share a
teenager's anxieties and fears.
"I gave them a tear to shed. It's theirs exclusively
to use whenever it's needed. It's their only weakness.
It's a tear for mankind."
A Mother's Advice to Her Daughters
"Be strong. Be intelligent. Smile.
"Know that beauty has everything to do with how you feel about yourself and nothing to do with looks or other people's opinions. Never do anything just because everyone else is if you believe it's wrong. Always...
"Be true to yourself. Expect the best from life and that's what you'll get. Learn from your mistakes and failures. Believe in magic and wish on stars. Love and trust and be compassionate. Make faces. Play in mud puddles. Take bubble baths. Turn off all the lights and watch lightning storms. Dance, laugh, cry, and sing when you want to. Read everything you can get your hands on. Stand up for what is right especially if you stand alone. Don't allow yourself or people around you to tolerate prejudices of any kind. Don't be afraid to try something new. Do something daring at least once a week. Run through snow drifts. Spin in circles and roll down hills. Pet puppies, hold kittens, and talk to babies. Take afternoon naps. Stay up to watch the sunrise. Never apologize for being a woman or for being yourself. Never forget that I love you more than any other person in the world, no matter how far apart we are you will always be my daughter."
