MOTHER'S DAY

It's going to be Mother's Day soon
A wonderful day! A boon!
As I think of a present for you
I know that nothing would compensate
All that you have endured for your brood
Adjusting with people in the neighborhood.
Your strictness and discipline
Was used for us to grow into level-headed adults
The values and lessons learnt have
helped us rise whenever we had a fall,
And be sensitive and considerate to all.

While Dad was around
You were a pillar of strength to him
Helping him take the right decisions
Towing in line with him
Following him like a shadow.
Without him around now
With equanimity and poise,
You have managed to
Collect the threads of your life.
Your blessings for the children who live yonder
Makes the heart grow fonder.


(As every mother is, mine is special too. She is not educated in the true sense, yet she has a heart of gold. She is warm, considerate, loving and caring -in short an unsung heroine.)
