My Mother

My Mother

Oh mother!! You are such a blessing in my life,
That I hardly ever had to bother,
to share my feelings with nother.
                        You gave me 2 sisters one after the other,
                       And have done every little thing to make my life smoother,
                      Always gave me strength to put my shattered hopes together.
Life would have been harder,
if you were not standing by my side.
Your efforts never let my dreams fade,
even with small-big mistakes I made.
                                         When I was trying hard, you were trying harder
                                          clearing my path off any boulder.
                                          Every time I cried, giving me a shoulder,
                                          Every time I lied, becoming a scolder.
       
Tough conditions on the path of truth and honesty,
With time and people often making me cynical,
Many a times drove you to become self-critical,
But you never failed to understand my pain,
whether it was emotional or physical.

                  You put your interests on back-foot,
                  So I could pursue mine.
                  I've seen you make sacrifices so that your kids could always shine.
                  I’m sure GOD the ALMIGHTY has created only one such mother,
                       And she’s mine, she’s mine, she’s mine.
