Mother

Mother

Who is she?

 the first one to wake up and last one to sleep in the house

because she is the unofficial custodian.
the one who feeds her family first even when she herself is famished

because the act of feeding her family is her favourite food.
 the one who eats all left over even when she is fully satiated

because she thinks food should not be wasted.
 the one who cleans house not because it’s a daily chore but

because she wants God to dwell in her house.
 the one who understands every person and adjusts accordingly

because she really can.
 the one who bears all physical pain and never utter a word

because she thinks - ‘this too shall pass’.
 the one who makes you believe that life is beautiful even when she has no penny left

because she wants only peace to reside in your mind.
 the one who stays awake whole night besides your bed when you are sick

because she can heal you with her eyes and touch.
 the one who rejoices in your success

because your happiness is her only desire.
 the only one who suffers along with you when you are in pain not because you are her child but

because she is your Mother.

There is so much to motherhood that I want to write.

Strangely words confine me at this stage.

But it’s okay since some things are better left unsaid.   

Love you Maa.
