There was a time, when a lot of

mothers stayed at home and

there were home chores

to be finished at that period.

The time was different and

circumstances were unique,

but now it’s as if there is something

missing somewhere.

Today’s mothers pick and drop

her kids to various activities.

They spend time with kids

participating in their interest.

If there is happiness, there is

suffering also, side by side,

Painful situations have more

power than happiness.

Though pain, happiness, joy,

and struggles are an experience

of mind, but a mother’s sacrifice

is something children should

never forget.
