Touched :~)

I'm very touched by a mother's love for her 2 girls.
She did not just get angry or disappointed about their "not-up-to-expectation" performance. Instead she actively sought help from me and others to help her child...in a very sensible way.

The amount of effort she is putting in them..how she goes all the way out to help them,
how she believes in them and guides them to grow healthily..touch my heart.

Reasonable expectation, extensive support and utmost patience.....these are of paramount importance to our children.

I salute this mother.
I salute all loving mothers in this world.

A Mother's Love

A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendorous miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.
