What Mother Means to me

She is my first teacher…

It is said, life doesn’t comes with a handbook of instructions

But because I have a mother

I learned to count from 1 to 10

started singing ABC…..

And I got someone who teaches me how to take a step

to start a journey

 She is my enemy yet a best friend to me…

It is not always a bed of roses with my mother

At time she can really be a nagger, she’s unlimited all the time

Keep on talking the same thing day after day

Time after time we have indifferences

That may had build a wall between us

At times, I don’t agree with her
and don’t understand her point of view

to her is the opposite one but, in my mind, I am on the right track

Because this is how it is done in my generation

Nevertheless, whenever I fall down and don’t know how to get up

She’s always the one who offer a hand and guide me

To where I supposed to be

She is my Superhero, who doesn’t need a cape…

Motherhood is a 24/7 lifetime job, without any overtime pay

No fixed salary, not even a single government mandated benefits

She may not be around with me all the time

But whenever, I stumble upon a stormy road

She has seemed to call all the angels to help me get through  it

Without all her nagging so much when I was young

I am not sure if I can be who I am today!

To all the mothers in the world! I salute you for the unending sacrifices that you make for your kids. Happy Mothers’ Day!
