Analysis of Happy Mother Day 2010



If you do anything today, thank your mother,
for the misery she must have endured,
during your nine months of incubation,
the pain she must have endured,
bringing you into this world.
For a beautiful life and the road to heaven,
for putting you on survival mode,
for gilding you in your times of trouble,
for the unconditional love she gave you,
for sacrificing her needs for yours,
for extending a helping hand, always,
for always being there no matter what.
Some Mothers choose the opposite,
to those that do, I say,
You are missing out on a good thing,
and
everybody pays.
