Late Night Under the Arms of Mom

when i was at my range to be a baby . 

i was under in every one's arm .


but , first  i was in my mom's hand .


late night i think . how much pain she had to take  to keep me calm when i was a baby .

how much love she use to give me when i was a baby .

and not also when i am at my age now she give me a lot of love 
when my  growth changed .
she settled me in everyone's heart . 

she started to teach me what i didn't know .

the proper way to behave with an elder and a younger too.


her life was nothing besides me .

her work was to be with her tears  for me .

she had a  daily routine to cook to wash to teach me to behave good 

she says that , my child is only my life . nothing else .

but , she had to bear all the problems though even she had her mother .

spending her all time on us .

spending her goods on us.

exactly she says , i am illiterate . but you do out what i haven't done in my life ,

you shine the world ,
what i have not 

you go ahead and be your good life .

these of her words touch us ..

and late night i thought , i was the lovingly  daughter and will be ahead .
 
when my life is still there or  nothing ..

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
