Mother

 

She carried you in the womb

and gave you her blood and bones to feed on

 

She brought you into this world

by great physical suffering of her own

 

She was delighted by your first sight

and she would carry that smile all her life

 

She was the one who helped you grow

Feeding you food till you said mom I am done let me go

 

She never spoke about her problems

But was more than keen to listen to yours

 

No matter how far you are

You are always there in her heart

 

She has been through thick and thin

but wont let you experience same given her will

 

She is like an eternal light

which will be there for you at all times

 

She always wished for you to be happy

and never once asked "make me happy"

 

Though she has all rights to ask for favor

She lives by what you share

 

When you dont bother to call up

She worries whether you are ok or not

 

She is eager to listen to your voice

even if you call her half past midnight

 

She always pampers you with things you like

and gratifies herself seeing your smile

 

She does not like the limelight

but will make sure you gather all the spotlight

 

She always enquires about your health

but avoids any talk about her own health

 

As she was helping you grow and be independent

she piled silver linings on her hairs

 

The eyes have become weak and steps slowed

but her heart still beats loud on your first look

 

She still tries her best to pamper you as an adult

for her you will always be a baby who needs care

 

You wonder how on earth such kind of bonding exists

as you are awestruck by MOTHER's love
