“Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.” —Robert Browning

As human beings, we all are here because of our mothers. Life doesn’t come with a manual; it comes with a mother. In every step of our lives, she supports and encourages us. Whether day or night she was always there for me no matter what the condition is. Furthermore, her every work, persistence, devotion, dedication, and conduct is an inspiration for us.

Today is world mothers’ day. On this mother’s day, we can give her a lot of valuable gifts. But no one can compare the value of the mother. She is the most valuable person in all our lives. However, there is one valuable gift for all our mothers. It is not only for our biological mothers but also for mother nature.

We can gift a tree to our mother and also to mother nature. It means: we can plant a tree on this mothers’ day. It will be a great valuable gift for our mothers. She can be happy because her son or daughter is thinking about nature. Every mother’s dream is to make a valuable person to this world. If we do that kind of thing on mothers’ day, she will really appreciate our attitude.

Let’s change our attitudes. We can make this world a better place. Let’s celebrate mothers’ day in a fantastic way. That is the best gift we can serve to our mothers. Happy mothers’ day to all the heroic mothers in the world.
