MOTHERHOOD

M-O-T-H-E-R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"(This is written by Howard Johnson)


For quite some time I wanted to write on motherhood but just couldn’t think of words. None of us have enough words to praise our mothers. Among the greatest gifts God has blessed womankind with is the motherhood. A mother is said be better than a hundred teachers according to a great writer.

Mothers whose indispensable care and nurturing for her children imbue her children with faith and moral values, as only she can and raise them courage, honesty, truthfulness, patience ,perseverance, love and kindness. The role of mother is so majestic and noble that even God smiles at her patience. The nurture, love, protection, values, education she gives her child is beyond compare. It is a role God has gifted her with the capabilities to accomplish, the sense of giving and ability to inspire a sense of belonging with her child.

Children’s natural affinity for the mother is the key to successful upbringing. A mother places the needs of the child before her incomplete dreams. It is not really sacrifice, but is an investment which reaps great dividends when her child learns to walk in the race of life. Motherhood is a wonderful, lifestyle-changing adventure with many opportunities to learn and teach. Adventure because each day is different and there are always some unexpected bumps in the road that only a mom can handle! A mother can cry for every child if she sees them in any distress, which the humble and loving heart of a mother. Her ceaseless prayers with new generosity confer her children best future.


The initial carving of our nurture solely lies in her blessed hands; the first cry the affectionate touch holds the whole world happiness in the little fist. The first smile or a splutter, nibbling in the first meal, the stumble or first baby step, the claps of appraisal, It’s just a fresh memory in her mind. Motherhood is a constant state of ambivalence.

My mother is the best mother on this earth and every child would say the same. Being born totally unaware of the outside world my mother played an important part in introducing me to the world and the outlook I have towards life reflects my mother. I have gained a lot of her traits. My mother's prayers have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. Well my mom gave me the best life. She never made me realized the reflection of my mirror which just has ignoble reflection. She sacrificed eight years of her life for me. She used to take me to every corner of the globe where a little hopes she saw. Yet today she lives a dream that will never be a reality. She is the one person who comes right after God for me. I can’t thank God enough for blessing me with such a wonderful mother who portended me,reacquainted me from the bustle and scrunch of the world shunning them away.

Well I believe as a matter of fact a woman can raise her children all alone fulfilling all the responsibilities while men cant. I m not generalizing but I know a handful men raising their kids single handedly. They always needs woman help.(A mother, wife ,sister or a friend) in this process but women just has mastered the art of joggling all the hurdles she faces in the process. Seeing my sisters and friend’s attitudes and approach marking a full circle makes me pray that the process from being a girl to a woman at attaining motherhood is something one can’t miss. I really don't want to miss it at any cost. My fight with God is still on until HE grants me this divine blessing.

I dedicate this blog to a special person in everyones life who has given us this beautiful gift of life.....To ALL MOTHERS!!I love you Maa !!!

well zahra it is a nice blog but speaking honestly has described Mother-the standard of love and genoristy,which even Allah acknowleges by comparing His love for mankind,in a little frame.And i totally agree with ya in that itz only women who has been bestowed with the calibre of raising a kid and the sufferings she undergoes while calling to this duty is beyond words.InshAllah your wish of getting this great status will be fulfilled ba duffer needs your consent first and i pray to Almighty-You get the best of everything.As i want you to be flying Angel besides being a praying Angel.C ya in hi realms of Freedom n prosperity
