Think of your mother, she will be there

Can a mother forget her baby or a woman a child within her womb? As Ann Breen sings; 

What a friend we have in mother Who will all our secrets share,We should never keep things from her,
Tell her all and she’ll be there;

Oh what tender love she gives us,
When in sorrow or despair,Tell her gently whisper softly, She will listen she’ll be there;

Day by day as she grows older,She’s the nation’s shining sun, Don’t forget the prayers she taught you,
You will need them where you are;

Though her hair has turned to silver, Send her flowers sweet and fine, Drop a card or send a letter,
She’ll be waiting she’ll be there;

When her eyes are closed to slumber, Gently kiss her icy brow, Fold her hands upon her bosom,
She will rest in Heaven now;

When your days are dark and dreary, And your cross is hard to bear, Do not let your memory fail you,Think of mother she’ll be there;

Every day, 830 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Skilled care before, during and after childbirth can literally make the difference between life and death for mothers and newborn babies, the UN says

On Sunday March 9, all over the world families celebrated Mothers’ Day and many mothers say their rooms were like beautiful flower gardens with lilies, Madonna and a variety of other beautiful flowers in different shapes and sizes. There may have also been boxfuls of the best chocolates and other sweet gifts. The mothers express gratitude and happiness for all the love and care they receive despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which is causing deaths, agony and despair to tens of millions of people. 
According to the United Nations, the origins of Mother’s Day date back to ancient Greek and Roman traditions. In 16th century England, on “Mothering  Sundays” children would visit their mothers and bake cakes for them. In the United States, Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday of May, and we need to thank Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia for it.
According to the UN, Anna Jarvis campaigned hard for a national day to honour all mothers, following the death of her own mother and activist Ann Maria Jarvis in 1905. “Mother Jarvis” was a community organizer who started “Mother’s Work Groups” in her home state West Virginia, which brought together mothers working to improve public health and food safety in their communities. 
Every day, 830 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Skilled care before, during and after childbirth can literally make the difference between life and death for mothers and newborn babies, the UN says. 
On a day, like this, we also need to recall and sing the beautiful song titled ‘The Lightening Express’. It was composed by American folk singer and radio entertainer Bradley Kincaid and made famous by equally famous Everly Brothers. The song goes like this. 
The lightning express from the depot so grand, Had started out on its way, All of the passengers that gathered on board, Seemed to be happy and gay, But one little boy who sat by himself, Was reading a letter he had,You could plainly tell by the look on his face,That the contents of it made him sad;
The stern old conductor then started his round, Collecting tickets from everyone there, And finally reaching the side of the boy, He gruffly demanded his fare,“I have no ticket” the boy then replied,“But I’ll pay you back someday”,“Then I’ll put you off at the next stop we make”, But he stopped when he heard the boy say;
Please Mr. Conductor, Don’t put me off of this train, The best friend I have in this world sir,Is waiting for me in pain,Expecting to die any moment sir, And may not live through the day, I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye, Before God takes her away;
A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim,If you put him off, it’s a shame”, Taking his hand, a collection she made,The boy’s way was paid on the train, I’m obliged to you miss for your kindness to me,You’re welcome,” she said, never fear,Each time the conductor would pass through the car, The boy’s words would ring in his ear.
