Lament

My Mother is always behind my achievements And when I achieve something I used to tell her She feels happy and I used to cry For my mother has done all the hard work to raise me up She always bothered about my ups and down She has now become old, as I have grown up She now needs my help to be comfortable She orders me and I respond with all happiness She now depends on me So I stay with her till she sleeps One day she ordered me to get married Just to see my bride and me happier I got married to give my mother more support Now my wife also takes care of my mother Only thing I feel bad is that my mother is lonely without me And after my marriage I could not afford to give her time For everything now is so busy with me She used to ask me where are you my son? I used to explain her with the reason And yes I want to take care of her the same way as before But it is not to be As my work increased And I now feel unfortunate As I’m unable to serve my mother completely With my busy schedule That makes me lament about it.
