Mother

Mother is just a simple word,
that often in the home is heard.
A noun, a person young or old,
a verb which many roles enfold.

Ordained by God, children to birth,
And populate the virgin earth.
To nurture them with tender care,
an instrument His love to share.

The one who holds a nation’s reins,
she educates her children’s brains.
When mother fails to play her role,
 the whole society pays the toll.

Instead of demeaning her role
Let’s lift up Mother on a pole.
When governments usurp her place
What baleful woes societies face.

Let’s celebrate this Mother’s Day
not in the usual kind of way.
Resolve to preserve mother’s role,
So, society can remain whole.
