‘The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world.’ They are the hands you held and took your first step in this world. And they are those which lovingly walked you through your life’s most momentous experience. One can have all the words and vocab to describe a million things in the universe, but just like her boundless love that cannot be measured, the language to talk about mothers is insurmountable! Hence, this mother’s day we’ll leave you with feelings more than words.
Let some timeless couplets ever written about ‘mothers’ accompanied by real-life mother-daughter moments do all the talking 🙂
