    You get everything here
    Except for a Mother or a Father
    Said my dad Enthusiastically
    On his first trip to this land

    Never believed in
    another Mother
    As I strongly felt
    A Mother is the one
    who raises you
    who stands with you
    In rain or shine
    Who laughs in your happiness
    Who carries you in her heart
    At times of distress
    Never shares her pain
    Or shows her fears
    All she cared was her
    Children’s happiness

    And you came along
    A big sister to my little one
    Always expected you to
    Be an amazing role model
    Forgetting you were a child too
    You always said
    She’s your kid not mine
    And made me utter
    Big sister is a second mother

    Such a huge responsibility
    On a little birdie
    And the day came
    When you beautifully
    Transformed into
    A Mother at heart
    Showing your Love and Care
    I realized the
    Motherly qualities
    You had within
    I wonder now
    Are Mothers made
    Or Born ?

    Good one, jskls. Yes, the loving burden the older one often gets.

    It is a running joke between Thing1 and me that we have a solemn responsibility to bring up Thing2 and present a rational, reasonable, bearably social human being to Thing2's significant other. : )

    It takes an older child to raise a parent. : )

    So true lines for a Mother's attitude towards her children.:worship2:

    Transformation of a girl child and all qualities come by birth.

    Hmmm...a question to ponder indeed. Let me know when you get an answer :)

    Welcome back,Lakshmi! Did your elder one had a chance to read what her mom has to say about her being 'another mother' for her little sister? If not yet, may I request you to please let her know? :)

    Thanks for sharing this with us.

    Hi Pavithra

    Just shared my scribble and these days I don’t write much. If I write will share.

    I write here in anonymity definitely no plans to share with family.

    Thanks bye
