WINDHOEK– When we think about a hero, the first thing that comes to mind is someone who is always there for us or someone we look up to and who is such a person than a mother?
A mother is the first role model in a child’s life and what do they say about first impressions? The most important qualities that distinguish mothers from other heroes are their lovingness, affection, warmth and bond they give to their children. Even in hard times, a mother never gives up on his/her child. They will strive to put food on a plate and will always try to give them what they need to survive. In the eyes of a child, a mother is often a hero not only because of the things they do but rather because of the things they go through for them to have a better life.
See the mother child poem below and if you find yourself reading this poem and your mother is your hero, you might just want to share it with your friends and family when they ask you who your hero is.
My Mother My Hero
Most people think of a hero as a superstar
My hero is an everyday person
My hero is my Mom.
My mom is a hero she stands for hope
My mom is a person you see every day
My mom is there when I’m trying to cope
My mom was there when I was little and all I wanted to do was play.
My mom is strong and has beat all odds
My mom is a teacher and works hard at her job
My mom is a hero, she is my crystal ball
My mom is a hero who I know, will catch me if I fall.
My mom is my shining star
She is the one I look to when times are hard
Sure she isn’t perfect but she isn’t that far from it
But to me she is as perfect as any mom could be. (Source:www.familyfriendpoems.com
