A Mother’s Love is Priceless

Mother’s love is countless and meaningful. Her virtuous of kindness is hardly repaid by any precious things in this world. Her deep parental kindness in bringing us up and the hardships she has gone through will never be repaid as they are priceless. In other words, her love for her child is endless and indescribable!

Her Maternal Instinct before Delivering Her Child

In the first month of pregnancy, the life of a fetus is unstable as tough a morning dew drop on the grass. The embryo then congeals like a piece of curd in the following month.

When she is carrying the fetus, she could not sit or stand properly as the fetus is as heavy as an iron ball. Neither can she eat or sleep properly. The fetus increases in weight daily. She feels as though she is carrying a mountain.

In the third month, the fetus looks like as tough a piece of coagulated blood. The fetus gradually forms into a slightly human shape in the fourth month. During the fifth month, a head, two hands and two legs start to take shape. In the sixth month, the child begins to develop into the essences of the six senses including eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. By the seventh month, the 360 bones and joints are formed. Following that the 84000 hair pores are complete. In the eighth month, the head gradually matures and endowed with mind-consciousness. Following that the nine apertures (two ears, two eyes, two nostrils, a mouth, the anus and the urethra) of the body are also opened. When the fetus is nine months old, she often feels the kicks and struggles in the womb, just like a vibration of earthquake. She can hardly get a good sleep, neither can she eat properly.

By the tenth month, the development of the fetus is fully developed and to be ready to be born. At the hospital, she undergoes extreme torture, great difficulty and pain for the smooth delivery of her new-born baby. For the sake of the child, her bloods flow out like a burst pipe.

Her Deep Parental Kindness after Delivering Her Child

She will only be at peace when she knows that her child has arrived safely and she will carry him wherever she goes. She breast-feeds her child and brings him warmth and health.

She spends much time and energy to nurture her child from the time the child is born, throughout the periods of childhood, teenage and adulthood. After facing many hardships in nurturing the child, she only wishes to see her child mature into adult who is endowed with propriety, righteousness and virtuous conduct. When her child falls sick, she would be so worried she forgot to eat and drink. Very often, she would also fall sick due to over anxious of her child. She will always think of her child. No words can describe her deep concern for her child. When her child has to undergo sufferings, the kind mother will pray throughout the day, wishing that she is the one who suffers! Such kindness is indeed very deep and great.

Some children leave their home for years without sending any messages to her mothers. The mothers can only cry sorrowfully, expecting their arrival from day and night.

Some daughters may move to other place with their husbands after marriage. They simply forget their mothers who are left alone in the house. And she is greatly hurt. She is truly saddened by her unfaithful child.

When her child neglects her advice, or argues with her rudely and angrily without any respect, her feeling is greatly injured. So, the mothers can only sigh sadly. Very often, she comes across an arrogant son whom works hard just to please his wife but not her own mother. He will never greet or visit his mother, and neither will they inquire for their well-being. The lonely mother feels neglected and unwanted. By right, children should take good care of their mothers. Do not wait till she has gone away, then one feels regret for not being able to pay respect to his mother when she is still alive.

As a son or a daughter, one must not forget the hardships and sufferings that our mothers have gone through in bringing up life and taking good care of us. Otherwise, he or she is worse off than beasts. Our mothers brought up us with ultimate compassion and sympathy.

Our kind mother is indeed a pitiful yet respectable lady. She sacrifices her youth and beauty for her child in exchange for a tired and haggard appearance! She never gets angry and differs her child, though he is born crippled or with ugly appearance. With unbounded love and concern, she takes good care of her child throughout the day and night!

My deepest and sincere thanks to all mothers in the world can only be expressed as follows:

• British English: Thank you very much, my dearest mums! I love you!
• Mandarin: Feichang Xiexienin, Wo Qinai de mama! Wo ai nin!
• Malays:
  Terima kasih buat ibuku tersayang! Saya cinta padamu, ibu!
• Japanese:
  Doomoarigatoo, watashi no okaasan! Aishiteru yo!
• Korean:
  Taedanhi kamsahamnida, ne sarang hanun omma! Sarangheyo!
• Spanish:

Mother’s love is indeed very great!
