Mother

Sitting in the corner of a room

Mentally exhausted by the troubles of the day]

A gentle kiss on the cheek, as if sent by god

And all the negativity fades away.

You look around but you are not surprised

To see an angel like figure standing aside

In front of whom your tears beg to flow

And no sorrow within you likes to hide.

She can easily sense the ache in your heart

Even though all your tears have dried

With a little cuddle and a ruffle of your hair

Oh! She is a panacea personified

She listens to your afflictions both said and unsaid

And makes sure you are gloomy no more

Then she plays, sings and dances with you

And there comes happiness galore.

Sometimes you get offended by her

Shout, stomp and throw it in her face

Then u aggravate the situation by moving away

When she wants to hold you and embrace

You bang the door and go out of the room

In a serene place somewhere you lie

And ponder over what you have done

Until a tear trickles down your eye.

Eventually you return and hope to carry on

With the way you were so far living

Again she hugs you and kisses you gently

Isn¢t she ever forgiving?

Then comes a day when you find her sitting alone

In one corner for a time so long

That the first thing that you think of

Is that something must be wrong

You patiently sit and try to do a mother

As you can hear her heart whine

But she shakes her head as if to say

¡Everything is perfectly fine¢.

After several rotations of the hourglass,

Things become normal again

It also ushers happiness plenty

And both of you forget her pain.

No matter what one may be,

One always feels the need of a touch maternal

To help him tread various paths in life,

How I wish a mother was eternal.
