The month of May all around the world is marked as the day
to celebrate mothers. Mother s play a vital role in our lives starting from
when they carry us in their wombs for nine whole months to the time of
delivery, nursing us into adulthood. The part they play can never be overemphasized
and so should be shown love for the care they radiate.

The song writer who wrote the song “sweet mother” could not
have written a better song suited for the mothers and their worth in our lives
because regardless of the time it was written, it always brings a lot of fond
memories of the role a mother plays in the lives of her children. My mum is one of such mothers and i celebrate with her for not just being the best mother in the world but also marking her 60th birthday on that day as well. To every mother and potential mother out there HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY as i believe all mothers should be celebrated everyday.
