The document is a poem about the love and sacrifices a mother makes for her child from birth through adulthood. It describes how the mother was always there to support and care for her child as they grew up, celebrating milestones, providing for needs and wants, and continuing to think of her child even in old age. It emphasizes that the mother sacrificed so much out of love and that one should show appreciation for her before it's too late. It ends by relating a story where the Prophet Muhammad teaches that among relatives and friends, one's mother should always come first.

when a baby.
YOU started growing!

When you first stood up
on your tender feet,
YOU grew confident!

4. She celebrated with happiness
on your first birthday.
YOU ate the cake!

5. She gave you sweets,
On your first day to School.
YOU enjoyed the whole!

6. She bought YOU new clothes,
Instead of sari for herself.
YOU showed off to your friends!

7. She took you to the doctor,
When you were sick.
YOU recovered your health!

8. She quarreled with her friend,
When you fought with her friend’s kid;
to prove you innocent & gave up her friend.
YOU cared less for her loss!

to buy your bicycle.
YOU rode with pride!

On your first day to Office.
YOU became independent!

On your first Salary day,
only to seek God’s blessings.
YOU already celebrated with your friends!

When you came home married.

still thinking of YOU.
Remember! All that she had,
she gave it to YOU.
Show your love before you feel it is too late

14. THINK, for a moment!
How much she sacrificed for YOU.
The agony & pain she went through
all the years.
It was for YOU, only for YOU.
Give her your time, a bit of your love
for that is all she desires.
Tell her that you love her and care too.
She’s with YOU, no matter where r u!

15. One day a man came to see the Prophet
Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon
him. It seemed that he was trying to solve
something but couldn't quite work it out. So
he asked the Prophet. ''Tell me, O Prophet!''
I have many relatives and many friends
whom I love, and whom I wish to care for and
help. But I often find it difficult to decide
which of them has the greatest claim upon
me? Which of them should come first?'' The
Prophet replied immediately, ''Your mother
should come first and before all others.''
