A poem for NPGA members I had tears in my eyes when reading this:
''MOTHER''
When you came into the world,she held you in your arms... π³
You thanked her by wailing like a banshee. π
When you were 1 year old,she fed you and bathed you... π
You thanked her by crying all night long. π
When you were 2 years old,she taught you to walk... π
You thanked her by running away when she called. π‘
When you were 3 years old,she made all your meals with love... π³
You thanked her by tossing your plate on the floor.
When you were 4 years old,she gave you some crayons... π³
You thanked her by coloring the dining room table. π²
When you were 5 years old,she dressed you for the holidays... π
You thanked her by plopping into the nearest mud.
When you were 6 years old,she walked you to school... π
You thanked her by screaming, ''I'm not going!''. π‘
When you were 7 years old,she bought you a baseball... π³
You thanked her by throwing it through the next-door-neighbour's window. π€’
When you were 8 years old,she handed you an ice_cream... π
You thanked her by dripping all over your lap. π‘
When you were 9 years old,she paid for piano lessons... π
You thanked her by never even bothering to practice.
When you were 10 years old,she drove you all day,from soccer to gymnastics to one birthday party after another... π€’
You thanked her by jumping out of the car and never looking back. π‘
When you were 11 years old,she took you and your friends to the movies... π³
You thanked her by asking to sit in a different row .
When you were 12 years old,she warned you not to watch certain TV shows... π
You thanked her by waiting until she left the house. π
Those teenage years:
When you were 13,she suggested a haircut that was becoming... π
You thanked her by telling her she had no taste. π‘
When you were 14,she paid for a month away at summer camp... π²
You thanked her by forgeting to write a single letter. π
When you were 15,she came home from work,looking for a hug... π³
You thanked her by having your bedroom door locked.
When you were 16,she taught you how to drive her car... π
You thanked her by taking it out every chance you could.
When you were 17,she expecting an important call... π²
You thanked her by being on the phone all night.
When you were 18,she cried at high school graduation... π
You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn. π‘
Growing old and gray:
When you were 19,she paid for your college tuition,drove you to campus,carried your bags... π²
You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrased in front of your friends. π‘
When you were 20,she asked you whether you were seeing anyone... π³
You thanked her by saying ''it's none of your business!''. π€’
When you were 21,she suggested certain careers for your future... π
You thanked her by saying ''I don't want to like you''. π‘
When you were 22,she hugged you at your college graduation... π
You thanked her by asking whether she could pay for a trip to Europe. π‘
When you were 23,she gave you furniture for your first apartment... π³
You thanked her by telling your friends it was ugly. π‘
When you were 24,she met your fiance and asked about your plans for the future... π
You thanked her by glaring and growling,''muuhh-ther,please!''. π‘
When you were 25,she hepled you pay for your wedding,and she cried and told you how deeply she loved you... π
You thanked her by moving halfway across the country. π€’
When you were 30,she called with some advice on the baby... π³
You thanked her by telling her, ''things are different now''. π€’
When you were 40,she called to remind you of an relative's birthday... π
You thanked her by saying you were ''really busy right now''.
When you were 50,she fell ill and needed you to take care for her... π
You thanked her by reading about the burden the parents become to their children. π‘
And then,one day,she quietly died.And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder. π€’
''Rock me baby,rock me all night long.''
&
''The hand who rocks the cradle...may rock the world''.
Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute/appreciation π³ to the person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother. π³ There's no substitute for her. π Cherish every single moment... π³
Though at times she may not be the best of friends, π not agree to our thoughts, π she still is your mother!!!! π
She will be there for you...to listen to your woes, your braggings, your frustrations,etc. π π π
Ask yourself... π have you put aside enough time for her, π² to listen to her ''blues''of working in the kitchen, her tiredness???? π π
Be tactful,loving and still show her due respect π³ though you have different views from hers. π π
Once gone,only memories of the past and also regrets will be left. π π π
By unknown
Do comment!!!!
