Today we honor you, dear mother, for your steady resolve, for your selfless sacrifice and able willingness to nourish a child straight from the tributaries of your womb. You who breathes life into the youngest and most impressionable, who holds and cradles each small being and then learns to let them go. We celebrate your strength and commitment to the long process of ushering a vulnerable being into the world, a helpless being, that is at first but a bundle of need. You are the progenitor of us all who swaddles the world in your care.
Today we celebrate the thousands and millions of mothers who have given selflessly of your love through the ages.
