My Mother




She lost her mother at an age tender Had to drop out from school and surrender Every day she would shed silent tears Her sorrowful cries met deaf ears She cooked food, and for the family cared Nights were sleepless as on walls she stared She was one of the bright stars in school A motherless child had to follow some rules She throttled her ambitions and dreams Her world shattered to pieces as it seemed She was in marriage given off in some years  Together with my dad, she chose to wipe her tears Determined to raise her children a big way Instilling values of goodness every day She’d sacrifice her comforts to make us cozy Enduring thorns to make our lives rosy Her love was an unwavering flow We blossomed in her bosom as she watched us grow Today her children in their fields stand tall She's still a pillar saving us from a fall     Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
