What makes a mother? by Yasmin Moses


A wise person once told me “mother’s day is everyday”. Everyone has a different perspective and definition of a mother. In my opinion, I think mothers are a gift from god; I also think mothers are brave, warm-hearted, vivacious individuals. Although I am not a mother yet hopefully one-day I will be. My observations of mothers are like angels sent from above. Mothers are protective providers who take the life that they brought into this world and raise their child to the best of their ability: teaching their child about life and its lessons. As every child matures they are filled with curiosity, heart-aches, and blessings and as teachers of the home mothers have a contingency of scolding with good-intentions. What makes a mother? One can ask the question; however, only a mother can show you the answer: when you see the smile on your child's face after an accomplished goal, or when the child is faced with discrepancies how does a mother cope; especially when the mother has to make a life-alternating decision. What does the child think of the mother's decision in the years to come? A mother provides guidance, when the mother lets go of her child who faces the real world. The child reminisce on the past and is anticipating on the future and is grateful for their mother, yet what makes a mother is her courageous, and unconditional love for a child that blossoms into an unique adult; Moreover, the heart-filling advice given throughout life. A single word cannot express how appreciative he or she feels for the mother they were blessed with. On this mother's day I wish all the mothers a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY.
