Mother's Day

What is a Mother's Day?

Well every year we celebrate Mother's Day. But do we really celebrate it because everyone else does it or the opposite?

Mother's Day owes its origins to several long standing traditions in Europe and the UK where a speific Sunday was set aside to honor motherhood and mothers. Traditionally the day was marked by the giving of token gifts and the relinquishing of certain traditionally female tasks such as cooking and cleaning to other members of the family as a gesture of appreciation.
While the role of the woman has become less rigid in modern day society Mother's Day (or Mothering Sunday) as it has been called in the UK dating back to the sixteenth century, remains an important day for the honoring of the role the mother's play in the home and in society in general

Only One MotherHundreds of stars in the pretty sky,

Hundreds of shells on the shore together,

Hundreds of birds that go singing by,

Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather.

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,

Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,

But only one mother the world wide over. '

that's my mama and me..
