Parents takes care of their children, nurture them and make them good human beings for the benefit of the society.  Very often parents are considered to be enemies when they decide things against the will of their children. But the real worth of parents is realized when you are ill or face any problem in your life. If we really look at them with a pure heart, they are our best friends who understand us like no one else does.
A mother is always considered to be close to her child. She hugs you, kisses you like no one else does, wipes your tears, makes you feel comfortable when you are in discomfort. And moreover she is the one who gives you the money she had kept for herself. She is the one who helps you when you don't have enough pocket money. 
A father may treat his children sternly sometimes, but he is as soft as cotton from the inside. He is the one who allows us to sleep on his arm even when it discomforts him. He does it just to make sure that his precious child gets a sound sleep without any interruption. A father is the one who works day and night to make sure that his child gets the best of everything. He sacrifices his needs and wishes just to fulfil the wishes of his children. He is the one who sleeps on the floor and lets his children sleep on cosy beds. He is the one who wears the same "pant-shirt" for the whole year and buys new clothes for his children every week. He saves his money just because he thinks of his children – that they would use it when they are in need of  money. 
We never really realize their worth till they leave us alone. And then, in their absence, we suffer in this selfish world. That is when each and everything around us reminds us of them. We never feel blessed to have such wonderful people around us round the clock. And it's not like they are doing a favour to us, but they love to be around us. Their world starts with us (their children) and ends with us. We are their precious gems.
"Just make them feel happy and make them smile,
For that smile will never make you sad not even for a while."
