Parent Is a Servant

The mother struggles to deliver baby                                                                                      Does everything for the child, being at nearby

She renounces her sleep                                                                                                                      To comfort and never to weep

Abandons all self-comfort                                                                                                            By taking every effort

To earn, the father toil                                                                                                                      Even if his health gets to spoil

Almost daily                                                                                                                                            To protect the family

Parents act as guard                                                                                                                       To get for the old age, a safeguard

Natural, though relevant!                                                                                                                       For the child, parent is a servant!!
