ReplyDeleteAsian women have always been stereotyped as admirable mothers: they are always caring, they sacrifice their lives for their children, they are devoted to them day and night, they serve them and help them in all their needs, and so on.
ReplyDeleteGOD made a wonderful mother, A mother who never grows old;He made her smile of the sunshine, And He molded her heart of pure gold;
ReplyDeleteIn her eyes He placed bright shining stars, In her cheeks, fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother, And He gave that dear mother to me."
