Blessing -One In a Million!

The day I opened my eyes to embrace breathing life
Her unconditional love followed like a shadow rife

Without knowing how to talk and explain my heart
She was the only one to give life a meaningful start

Conditions when turned bad with scarcity to survive
Fought alone for living so that I never face any strive

Each millisecond struggled alone at work and home 
Giving me a good life bothering not for health of own

Everyone says their Mother is the best in the world
For me a Goddess from a realm above material Earth

Virtues taught made me humane more than human
Enlightened inner soul making capable for creation

She is my Mother, Mentor, Friend and sweet Sister 
Made me to live life being motivated even in sinister

I am blessed to write about a blessing one in a million
Fumbling for words since her love is infinite in a trillion
