a tribute to my heroine

The Meal, 1891, by Paul Gauguin
Magpie Tales Photo Prompt 117

patiently waiting as we are always,

all seated at the breakfast table

while mother is instructing

our house helpers on what to do and prepare;

the nourishment we all need

for our day in school.

our bags on the floor

packed with all the things we needed.

the assignments and homeworks

that mother also helped us to do,

last night before we went to bed.

great woman

i surely do understand

it takes a lot of energy

and patience

to raise eight children.

now even just days before

my 42nd birthday,

she still make sure

that everything is good with me,

just as how i was when i was 

her little boy.

a day

is not enough

to thank you 

for not just giving me life;

but for leading me 

to the wonderful life

i am having now.

Happy Mother's Day

N   A  N   A   Y !...

you simply are the best!..

A Little Tribute to All Mothers

my salute and respect

to all mothers.

a day is not enough

to thank you

for all the sacrifices.

you are one of the two

greatest and foremost hero

of everyone!..

but...

let us not only consider

women

who have children

the reason to celebrate this day...

think about 

every father,

who lost his wife.

a sister or a brother,

who have lost their parent,

every single

man or woman;

who have nortured,

cared,

and raised a child.

you are all

part of the celebration...

Happy Mother's Day!
