Mother Knows Your Needs

My pigeon's nest had two squab I could observe both to remain silent Only until the mother arrived, as both rose to grab As both jumped and became jubilant One was more aggressive than the other Other one too was happy but not forced the mother for a feed Appetite you may adjudge, with the force of chasing the mother Demanding feed from mother is an unwritten deed One chased the mother to get more share It looked as if there is a fight Mother knows how much to spare Once one’s quota is fed, mother turns down outright When she is forced, mother closes her mouth Also shows an innocent face, as if food storage is emptied While mother looks for the other, to offer by stealth Former is not contended, though mother belied The mother maintains more patience and maturity Never gets perturbed on such chase game Fairly and firmly she shows, in care and concern, parity Former may, in a hurry, choose the mother to blame Only mother knows what one needs! Only to care you, god has become mother Only with such sacred responsibility, mother breeds Only motherhood is holy, to be revered ever higher!
