Maa

Who feeds the child without eating himself
She is Mother.
Who puts the child to sleep without sleeping by himself,
She is Mother.
Who fulfills the desires of her child by sacrificing her own will.
She is Mother.
Who  understands all untold words of her child
She is Mother.
Who cries all the time seeing her child in grief
She is Mother.
Who can bear all the sorrow to see a little smile on his face of her Child
She is Mother.
If the child is injured, her body hurts
She is Mother.
Who always protects the child from all dangers,
She is Mother.
Who, being illiterate, she thinks of his child's higher education
She is Mother.
Who left her own home and go to old age home for child happy,
She is Mother.
A mother can nurture twelve children but
Twelve children can’t feed one mother.
The End
