(5 ways to describe a mother that sounds easy but when you think of it. It's actually pretty easy to write the words but we don't write the meaning of those words like for example sweet. And that's it has no meaning to it, it's just a word to us but here let me help with how you can really describe a mother to you or to others.)

1: Gentle: mothers are gentle because it's like holding your newborn baby you brought into this world and show them the ways of how to be gentle to others. Mothers are gentle because it is like a honeysuckle that smells so sweet and you can gently smell how sweet a mother can be when they bloom so gracefully or like a rose closing so peacefully so they can bloom so brightly during the day again.

2: Protective: mothers are protective because it is like a mama bear protecting her cubs from danger and strangers in the forest, hurting themselves and putting them underneath her chest so they can hear her heartbeat so they can fall asleep calmly. Mothers are protective because they don't want their kids to be hurt by others and they sheltered them til it was their time to fly and not be afraid to help others in need.

3: Hard-Working: mothers are hardworking because they always tried their best to get the things done, taking care of the kids with their homework that they bring home even though they tried their best to help their child to get the right answers for that test that is for tomorrow, feeding them with good nutrients and help to supply the body that it needs for the next day, putting them to bed so they can sleep so they can have energy for the next day, then after all that's done she is going to do the same things every day. Mothers are hardworking because they are our teachers and chef, gardener, officer. And basically everything that a mother can do.

4: Patient: mothers are patient because whenever things go wrong, she tries her best to calm things down whether it is an argument, fight, or even a quarrel between kids fighting over something and some fights can be over a cookie or maybe who is going to a birthday party just to look cool. I guess I never understand how a mother can be so patient when it comes to pressure. Mothers are patient because they wait for their child to come home safe and sound whether it is late during the day or during the night when the time rolls by so fast and quickly because they don't want to wake up to turn on the news or when a doorbell rings and she opened the door and there an officer say "ma'am, I'm sorry for your loss and need to claim this body because there was an accident."

5: Strong: mothers are strong because they take every hit, every pain, and these things that she doesn't want her child to go through these things when they grow up. Mothers are strong because she is like a ship that is taking the hits from the ocean, every hit from the lighting. She keeps ongoing and going till that raging storm til it is finished with their anger towards that ship.
