Parents Day '92


This is a card my brother and I made for Parents Day (1st Aug 1992) and presented it to our parents. I made the sketch (it's a vase with flowers in it) with colour pastels on black sand paper and stuck it on a 'chart paper'. Then searched for a quotation about parents. I chose, 'The joys of parents are secret. So are their griefs and sorrows' by Francis Bacon. I still don't get the meaning of it but wrote it nevertheless. 'Parents are special' 'Happy Father's and Mother's Day!' Signed, Sreedevi and Sameera.
I must thank my teacher (I don't remember who it was). She told the class that 1st Aug was Parents Day and all of you give your parents a gift. Most importantly thank them for everything.

The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears...they cannot utter the one, nor they will not utter the other. Children sweeten labours, but they make misfortunes bitter.

this quote has a very deep meaning- its about parenting..the pains parents go through in upbringing their child.

its about the continuous battle of shaping up the childs activities, thought, spoken word and many things put together.

this i feel is the jist of the quote...
