Mothers

Why are mothers so patient. What makes them so resilient. If Allah has made us out of earth, then surely they must have been made out of something priceless. I will not say gold for a golden vessel is placed in the showcase, while the earthen pot fills empty stomachs. Surely the earth used to create mothers must have been the finest, straight from heaven. Mothers never age. They will cook you the tastiest dish when you come back home. They will tender to you even when they fall sick. Mummy will be always there waiting for me, irrespective of whatever ghastly hour i come back. Mummy will never cry out in pain, but her heart will pain for the tiniest injury that i may have been inflicted with. Mothers will be more overjoyed of our success than we ourselves. May we be able to do the tiniest bit for our Mothers that be worthy of a fraction of their infinite sacrifices. May we be worthy of their labour. Amen. For all mothers. Especially for my mom-ma, momma.
