God could not be there with every child,
So He made You, Mum.
You brought a 'Bundle of Joy' into the world
And loved it like no other one.
You wiped my nose, You cleaned my bums,
You sang me lullabies.
You did not sleep in the night
Just to soothe my wails and cries.
U somehow knew when I was feeling blue
And was hiding things in a guise.
But You let me have my so-called space
Till I asked You to advise.
Sometimes I argued with You
And went against Your wish
But the moment I said, "I'm hungry, Maa," You dashed off
To make my favourite dish.
When I was a kid and thought I had become wise
But now that I'm going to start my own life, I think
"Maa, won't You teach me, just 1 more day?"
I pulled out an old, worn-out photograph and I saw
Your smile when You were a sweet, young girl.
How beautiful You looked, Maa! And that snap,
Even more priceless than diamonds or pearls!
That snap brought back some faded memories,
And You don't look like that anymore.
But Your smile has become sweeter by the day
Now wipe Your tears, hold my hand
And listen to what I have to say
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
