Punctuation Marks and their uses

Happy Mother's Day- 2019

 Mothers are the source of life and without them it is almost impossible to dream about life on planet earth. They are the one who give us birth and bring us in this world. They are the one who nurture us and make us walk on our own feet. They not only protect us from evils but also show us the righteous path of life. They act as a guide, a teacher and a best friend who always stand strong besides us under all the difficulties.

Super Mom

Mom, you're a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.

You're patient when I'm foolish;
You give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything;
You're the master of every task.

You're a dependable source of comfort;
You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You support me whenever I call.

I love you more than you know;
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You'd be the one I'd select!
