Sons in particular are disposed to love and respect their mother above all others. This is true, in part, because a mother can show love better than she can speak it.
It is the mother who keeps the home together. If the man, by tradition, is the breadwinner, the mother is the breadkeeper and distributor. Women, as mothers, are creatures of inspiration, made so by the grace with which they carry themselves.
The sweet voice of a mother is her crowning charm which reveals itself in her inborn compassion. She speaks and the act is done.
Women, as mothers, are capable of enormous strength. It is they who are the undergirding foundation of a nation. Sons on far off battlefields think most often of their mothers.
She knows how to cheer the weary husband as well as to soothe the fretful child. For her reward, she asks only for a kind word of appreciation.
