Mama

MAMA
Every time I wake up, its mama,
Thank you for best gift ever, Gift of life,
Many cry for years, to give the Gift,
Few get the chance to give life,
Thank you mama, thank you mama.

A small fragile frail seed of life,
It grew in your live box below your food belly,
You told stories to me inside your womb,
They thought you mama must be insane,
Thank you mama, thank you mama.

Finally I was brought to this space and met mama Earth,
Where they call home, my first breath was met by a cry,
Tears which will always come when mama is not around,
Mama you did everything to me, always holding your ****,
Thank you mama, thank you mama.

  Mama I will always cherish you,
But it was mama and Tata who made the seed ,
The seed which saw me grow to me,
Earth, home has told me many lessons,
The lesson of love planted by mama and papa is the best.

There is this unique insurance your works always give my expectations And that satisfaction only builds more castles for my curiosity to thrive, waiting for subsequent results of your talent and thinking.
