Mother"I still remember the day when I was ten,

Sleeping on your lap to the envy of my elder brothers and sisters.It was full moon night, my world only you knew Mother!, My Mother!

When at midnight, I woke with tears falling on my knee

You knew the pain of your child, My Mother.Your caring hands, tenderly removing the pain

Your love, your care, your faith gave me strength,To face the world without fear and with His strength.

We will meet again on the great Judgment Day. My Mother!

This is the story of my mother who lived ninety three years, a woman of love, a woman of kindness and above all

a woman of divine nature. My mother performed Namaz five times everyday. During Namaz, my mother always looked angelic.

Every time I saw her during Namaz I was inspired and moved.
