Speech on Mother – 3

"Good Morning everybody!

A very warm welcome to you all! Hope you all are doing well and are happy to grace this occasion.

We all are gathered here to talk about the most beautiful and wonderful personality we all have or had in our lives – ‘Mother’, ‘Mom’, ‘Maa’, ‘Amaa’,  the words for this most beautiful soul sound similar across most languages and evoke similar connotations of love and warmth. She is the one who is no less than God for her child. Perhaps the physical presence of God was not feasible everywhere because of which He created this idol called ‘Mom’. I identify her as the Goddess of Multitasking, you say a thing or just give it a thought and she does that. From cooking to earning and from pampering to scolding us for our wrongs, she plays her part with utmost love and affection.

Our mother is the creator of our existence, she is the one who has enabled us to feel what exactly life is, she made us alive and has produced virtues within us. Isn’t it?

I believe that she is the string that attaches the entire family together, she motivates us and builds our strength and does everything that has today made us capable of facing this world with dignity, confidence and power.

Mother is the one who frames us, the one who builds us both physically and mentally and empowers us to face the world. She is the sunshine for every child and is always the first person whom we think of in our happy and not so happy times. She is the first thought that comes to our mind when we are unwell, when we are sad, when we are not able to achieve something or when we reach the greatest height of success.

Let’s ask ourselves, isn’t it she the one who flashes before our mind when we feel scared by a thought or lie sick in our bed. Yes! She is the one. From waking up early every morning to packing up our lunch, to those lunch time calls for confirming that we had our lunch or not, it is our mom who tracks us, who tracks our wellbeing. I thank all the mothers for their existence, as they made us who we are today.

Somebody has articulated it well and has said, “Behind every successful man, there is a woman”. I abide by this quote and have no second thought that this woman can be none other than the ‘Mother’. She is the one whose prayers are focussed just for her kids because it is only the Mother who carries the entire world in her and has been blessed with the power to nurture a complete life in her womb that too with intense love and care.

To conclude, I will like all of you to always treat your mom with love and respect. Always be grateful to her as you owe this life to her. Each one of us has this responsibility of respecting and looking after her. You may call it her love or sacrifice, but she is the only one who has made our existence worthwhile.

Love you, Maa!

Thank You!
