The Gift That I Want On This Mother’s Day

By: Shazia Yousuf

I wish you not to show me your love,

In just odd forms and ways,

I wish you not to shower your love,

With just paper cards, chocolates or bouquets,

I cherish your love,

In those sweet little moments,

When I’m boiling with wrath,

And you make me smile,

When I ruin the French toast,

And you say it’s “kind of nice”,

When you feel sad, when I am sad,

When you try to walk,

The path to which I guide,

But you make me proud,

When you choose your path,

When you win the race,

When you lose the race yet you win the race,

By standing strong,

Against all storms,

When I see you strong,

When I see you tall,

That’s when I feel,

I do not need,

Not one Mother’s day,

Every moment that you shine,

For me is my prize!

Happy Mother's Day

You Will Always Be Remembered

By: Shazia Yousuf

A perfect daughter, a supportive wife, a proud mother of seven (she always counted her niece brought up in her house as her real daughter), an encouraging sister, a loving mother in law, a very helpful neighbor, the greatest chef,  the most wonderful grand mother ever; all in all a great example of a person with perfect relationships! Loved and remembered by all with words of praise. Muslima – my belated mother.

A symbol of sacrifice since her childhood but never for once complained. She was the source of strength when others felt weak. She always stood up for others when they needed her. Weak at heart, she wept a lot, be it a moment of happiness or sorrow. Yet a symbol of strength when in time of need, she would stand up when others would fall.

Mother - A Spiritual Relationship

By: Sadaf Chaudhary

 

We are all chained in different relationships. It is a sort of bonding and an acquaintance between two human figures living on the earth. A spiritual relationship is one that aims for the highest good for those in the relationship. It is something that facilitates our spiritual growth. Among all relationships, no relationship can aim for our highest good other than that of a mother.

Happy Mothers' Day - Every Moment, Every Day

By: Shazia Yousuf

I can never forget that very special moment when I held you in my arms for the very first time. The warmth that I felt was something so different; the strange emotions that stirred in my heart were something I had never felt before. Looking into your sparkling eyes was a moment to cherish. That was the very first time I felt a unique bond, a strange sort of love. I had loved before, but this love was so very different. This love was the result of Motherhood! This was my “Happy Mother’s Moment”
