[Expired] Mothers Day History  Mothers are the sweetest gift from Gods to us. There is no way we can ever really thank our mother for all she does for us nevertheless we must make it a habit to keep reminding ourselves of the various sacrifices she made while raising us. Mothers' Day is the best time to say in words how much you love and care for your mum. Mother's Day has ancient origins. In Greece, the people kept a special day to honor Rhea, the mother of the Greek gods. In Rome a few centuries later, the goddess Juno was honored at a feast called the Matronalia. The ancient Egyptians had a holiday honoring Isis, mother of Horus. Mother's Day became established as a Christian holiday in Europe. In the 16th century, apprentices and indentured servants were allowed to return home to visit their families on the fourth Sunday of Lent. This tradition may have given rise to the British Mothering Sunday. Mothering Sunday failed to catch on in early America. However, in the United States during the time of the Civil War, Ann Jarvis, a young Appalachian woman, organized women on both sides of the conflict to work for to improve sanitation on "Mother's Work Days." When Ann Jarvis died in the early 1900's, her daughter, Anna, started a passionate crusade for Mother's Day as a national holiday. Jarvis worked to convince church and political leaders to honor a special day for mothers. Although she succeeded in making Mother's Day nationally recognized in 1914, she took little joy in her success. She began to speak out against the commercialization of her holiday. But by then it was too late-Mother's Day was established. Today, Mother's Day is an important holiday celebrated in some form all over the world. Send your mother our flowers, special gifts on Mother's Day, but make sure she knows that she's appreciated all year round.

If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose tears would come down to me, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! If I were damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! By Rudyard Kipling I need a mother who would love me I need a mother who would take care of me I need a mother who would understand me I need a mother for who I am I need a mother to know me I need a mother who would be there for me I need a mother who would not yell at her son I need a mother who won't push her son away I need a mother who would not throw me out of her life Even though I still need a mother Everyday I try to be nice Sometime she don't care about me What I need is a mother who would be there for me I need a mother who would watch me grow I need a mother who would celebrate my birthday I need a mother who would miss me I need a mother to cry on I need a mother to know that her son loves her But she won't let me know her What I need is a mother Who is no more now.
