To Mothers Everywhere
This is an ode to the Mothers all around,
They are the queens who have never been crowned
For all their hard work, for all their love,
They are the angels sent from above!
On our first day, tears rolled down your cheeks,
You said we are God’s miracle, for which you waited long weeks
You embraced us with love even as we pulled your hair,
The joy we felt in your arms will always be beyond compare!
When your eyes twinkled at our first step,
We just wanted to run into your arms with every footstep
When our first word became your favorite verse,
We wanted to mumble on the same, as if they were magic words!
When you sat on the table, scratching your head,
As you worked on ‘our’ project, which we haven’t even read :P
You became our idol, our mentor, our guide,
“Learn to do your work yourself”, you said sternly! Then added, “Only this time I’ll let it slip”, with a smile wide ?
Then we got the new toys, only those were new gadgets,
You worried about us, as they were working like magnets
You worked upon us with a tender-heart,
To bring us on the right track, you had to work really hard!
Then we said we have found the love of our dreams,
You taught us life lessons, as life…it may not be as it seems
But when you were content with our decision,
You were ready to spread more love & celebrate the occasion!
Through all our life, you have always been there,
When we turn around for help, we are always in your prayer
We may not say it everyday but you mean the world to us,
You are our No.1, there’s nothing to discuss!
I could go on and on, thanking you all for everything,
But I am sure you’ll understand, if I don’t go on and sing
There can never be an end when it comes to praising you,
It’s like painting a never ending rainbow, in the sky so blue!
So everyone,
Let’s come together
To tell our Mothers,
We love them forever!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, Ma!!
