Mother, mummy, mom, maa,

A word loaded with love,

Nostalgic memories,

Oozing with care,

Brimming with comforting ease,

Sponging tears of sorrow,

Instilling fortified strength,

Letting me stumble, fall

Enthusing fighting spirit,

To stand up again ,

Emerging stronger,

Cut and chiseled to perfection,

At her delicately caring hands,

A petite frame, housing

A rocky conviction,

Warmth of her womb through,

Un severed umbilical cord,

Instilling life energy,

Making this world,

A lovable abode,

Shadows aglow with her,

Care's sunshine,

Cool oasis of life's parched deserts,

spreading love, joy, good cheer,

Mother gliding through life,

You softly stepped across,

Leaving behind love filled memories,

Physically away to worlds unknown,

Your presence is felt each moment,

Virgin golden sunrays,

Cool moonlit nights,

Your laughter riddled eyes,

Peeking from every ray,

Soothing life's turmoils,

Wiping away anguish and aches,

Mother words fail me,

How do I express my gratitude,

You so graciously,

Left the cord un severed.......
