“A mother is a person with magnetic charm and is the uncrowned queen of a house who rules her subjects with majesty and power, untainted by politics. To childish imagination she is the epitome of strength and embodiment of courage. She cherishes the fondest hopes and wildest dreams for her children. Her unselfish and limitless love and generous undertaking, mould, nourish and sustain life’s complex path from infancy to adolescence. She tolls from morn to night and never complains of tiredness. She lavishes her tender care on her children, comforting and shielding them in all difficulties. At the time of sickness she spends many an anxious hour by their bedside by keeping her watchful eyes ever alert, no matter how much laden with sleep they may be.”
