Unwanted

She sometimes looked so cruel when angry
But she was always so beautiful when happy.
She was a little rebellious with life
But she made good concession all the times.
She was irritated with all her duties
But she would often make it run smooth.
She fussed, expecting more from him
But would finally rejoice in what she acquired.
She would fight me like a spoilt kid.
But she would look after me as usual.
She said she had too many kids
But would find her breathing space in some way.
She said she was not in the happiest home
But she would join in all the festivities.
She would taunt me like her rival
But I understood she was frustrated.
She recoils every time I want to help her
But I double my effort to please her.
She thought maternal love has robbed her  
But would make effort to be a mother.
I love her for what she is and has been
But she says today I was the unwanted child!
Well...I'm relieved she said it finally
But I say : GOD BLESS HER...

God bless your mother, the vessel he used to bring you here. Don't worry about her recoil, she probably had her own plans when you came. I admire the fact that you "double your efforts" to please. Show her maternal love has not robbed her in all you do. May this new year bring yourself and family much joy in festivities and more. ?? Hugs Rainbow.
