She was with you when no one else...

She was with you when no one else knew you existed. She went through pain after pain to see you set foot on this earth. Her heart broke every single time you’d wake up in the middle of the night crying. She would sacrifice her sleep just to hold you in her arms. Tears would roll down her eyes every time you fell ill. You were helpless and weak, thus Allah made her your support and strength.
She would rather go hungry to ensure you were full, sleep in cold as long as you were wrapped up & warm and she would rather harm befell her if it saved you from any pain. And you know very well, if she could, she would do it all again.
She smiled when you smiled, she cried when you cried, she dressed you in the best of clothes even when her own were torn, she would listen to you repeating the same thing all day and never become bored. You found comfort in her arms, even when she was angry, you’d run to her instead of from her. She meant the world to you. She WAS your world. That is, when you were young…
Now that she’s old, weak and helpless, her love for you has only increased. Her heart still breaks when harm touches you. Your happiness still makes her happy. She would still sacrifice this world and everything in it for you. But, would you?
"We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents; in pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth" (46:15).
"Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility and say, "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." [Noble Quran 17:23-24]
