An Ode to Mothers & Fathers

Universal Truths:-

1. "Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together." ~Pearl S. Buck
2. The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
3. Grown doesn't mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown? What's that suppose to mean? In my heart it doesn't mean a thing. -- a universal truth all moms know & believe.
4. A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never done
5. No one in the world can take the place of your mother. Right or wrong, from her viewpoint you are always right. She may scold you for little things, but never for the big ones.
6. "God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers." -- a truth beleved by all
7. The best conversations with mothers always take place in silence, when only the heart speaks.
8. "In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man-if you want anything done, ask a woman." -Margaret Thatcher
9. The thankless position of the father in the family... the provider for all, and the enemy of all.
10. It is impossible to please all the world and one's father.
11. By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.

 MOTHERS

 A Mother is one who understands the things you say and do
 Who always overlooks your faults and sees the best in you
 A Mother is one whose special love inspires you day by day.
 Who fills your heart with gladness in her warm and thoughtful way.
 A Mother is all these things and more - the greatest treasure known.
 A mother is someone who loves you who cares for you in every way
 She sits down and listens to what you have to say
 She always thinks your beautiful & never puts you down
 She always has a smile to wipe away your frown
 A mother is someone who believes in you always & pushes you to go far
 Tells you to believe in yourself no matter who you are
 A mother is like an angel although without the wings
 She tells you to enjoy life's most smallest things

FATHERS 

Fathers are wonderful people too, little understood,
And we do not sing their praises as often as we should...
 For, somehow, Father seems to be the man who pays the bills,
 While Mother binds up little hurts and nurses all our ills...
 And Father struggles daily to live up to "his image"
 As protector and provider and "hero of the scrimmage"...
 And perhaps that is the reason we sometimes get the notion,
 That Fathers are not subject to the thing we call emotion,

 But if you look inside Dad's heart,where no one else can see

 You'll find he's sentimental and as "soft" as he can be...

 But he's so busy every day in the grueling race of life,

 He leaves the sentimental stuff to his partner and his wife...

 But Fathers are just wonderful in a million different ways,

 And they merit loving compliments and accolades of praise,

 For the only reason Dad aspires to fortune and success

 Is to make the family proud of him and to bring them happiness...

 And like Our Heavenly Father,he's a guardian and a guide,

 Someone that we can count on to be always on our side.

   We call him ... Dad
