After all, these people gave us life, their warmth and love, their first support and laid their inner confidence, blessed our way and throughout our whole life they support and always pray that all our affairs are successful, and we are happy.

Congratulations for Moms

Who has revealed to me this world,
Not sparing your strength?
And always guarded?
The best mother in the world!

Who is the dearest in the world?
And warm your own,
Loves more than himself?
It’s my mommy.
Happy holiday, my love!

Each other’s actions are valued by people,
For kindness, talent and skill.
And only my mother does not like something,
And just so your child.

Sometimes people condemn each other –
And strangers, and their relatives,
Only mother forgives us,
And maybe even like them!
Thank you for loving, you understand Mummy!

Mommy, mother, dear mother!
We love you and we will
Long life, so that without trouble
You gave us joy all this time!

Our sun, you are our soul,
I do not have any more relatives than you!
Happiness to you and God forbid
Mom, Mamula and her house!

My swallow,
My mommy!
You are our only one,
We love you!
No you are softer,
Better and more kind,
You are our support,
You are a gift from above!

My dear mother,
I love you immensely!
I wish you happiness
And health by all means!
And I wish you
Many kind warm days,
To keep you as long as possible
I was happy with our children.

Only mothers love us not for something, but simply,
Just because we are, we live,
Only we go to mothers on important issues,
Only they have their own troubles, we have problems.

We dedicate our mothers successes, victories,
And on Mother’s Day, on the feast of son’s love,
We wish that all misfortunes pass them,
So that their children will only bring happiness to them.

Our most important person,
You gave us life,
In exchange for this wonderful gift
I did not ask for payment.

On Mother’s Day we are in a hurry
Congratulate the whole soul,
Be happy and forever be
To us by our own family.

Hard work – to give birth to children,
To grow, wash diapers.
Let there be a heroine’s mother
For every child.

Who can give the world to the world?
A divine miracle?
To conceive, bear, love?
In it so much power from where?

Let it be kept by Mary the Mother
All women on the planet.
I will not tire of repeating:
You’re the best in the world.
