Mother..

No one could ever define the true meaning of mother for every definition falls short of the real meaning of Mother. Wikipedia says mother is a female parent of an offspring. But we all know that a mother is much more than that. The gestation period of various animals have various periods but for humans, it is of 9 months. The amount of time a baby is in a mother's womb, is what determines how intelligent the offspring turns out to be.

For me, a mother is a source of inspiration. A symbol of life and god for in mythology God could give life, but in reality, a mother gives life to a new born baby. She cares with all her mind body and soul and never once wishes ill for the offspring. She nurtures, teaches, inculcates values into a person. If it werent for the mother, there would be no socialized life for manners are learnt by the lessons a mother teaches.

Mother, sweet mother, what will we be, if it were not for the hard work and labour you went through during our infancy. In Hindus, there is a saying that if you get a chance to donate your blood to your Mother in times of need, you would be the most luckiest person on the earth for you would be able to clear of your gratitude, but I would feel that giving every organ for her life would still be insufficient.

GOD made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks, fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.

Yes, agreed that there is nothing that a human being does that can make up to the love, care, sacrifice and other things parents do for their children. Your view on that is quite subtle and thought provoking.
