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
