Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children.

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker compares a mother's name with the name of God in children's speech and feelings. The image gives motherhood a sacred significance within the statement. Read as an expression of reverence, it places deep emotional importance in one familiar word without describing any particular child or mother.
