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
