The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

Blessings on the hand of women!

Angels guard its strength and grace,

In the palace, cottage, hovel,

Oh, no matter where the place;

Would that never storms assailed it,

Rainbows ever gently curled;

For the hand that rocks the cradle

Is the hand that rules the world.

                                                                        - William Rose Wallace

What an important and awesome job a mother has! Motherhood is just about the greatest calling in the world. The thing that makes a mother so wonderful is her sacrificing spirit. The will to sacrifice for her part of the soul, her time, strength, career and even her own health for the sake of her child.

 A roman Catholic once said,’ give us the children until they are seven years old and you can keep them the rest of their lives.’ He meant, of course, that the first years of a child are the most important, impressionable and once in a lifetime. The teaching, love, mannerism, etiquettes, understanding and care a child receives as a clad will never be forgotten. A child is like graphite in his/her initial years of growth, a mother does not only take care of her baby she governs the destiny of her race.

It is her hand that rocks the cradle and it is her hand that indirectly rules the world. The future of any nation, the future of the generations to come depends on the upbringing given to a child by the mother of the rising generation.

We all should remember that the greatest leaders, conquerors, politicians and many more of the world had been helpless and dependent babies once. Had it not been for the fond care of their mothers, they would never have grown up to mark their great presence on earth.

P.S: an act of praise for my mother who is preeminent force for change and love in my world.
On her birthday: 14^th February, 2013. Love u Mumma J
