Oh Mother!

With Lord you made a divine accord
to bring me on his behalf on record
the pain of bearing was so piercing
nine long months within you held me!

Your body was absolutely drained
but still you went on with the strain
enabling me to see light of earth
infusing in me growth and strength!

You cradled me in your gentle arms
endowing me world of prodigious warmth
it didn't matter if I cried or laughed
You were always by my side when sought!

You fed me with your life and blood
and soothed me with your loving words
patiently you taught me every sound
when I took first steps, you felt so proud!

When I was asleep, You were awake
when ill, you just cried for my sake
with healing touch on brow delirious
You bestowed me life not once but several!

You pushed, prodded, encouraged, guided
until I found my place in world lopsided
Time passed and my path took me away
Your concern was my happiness everyday!

Oh mother!
Words are incapable to express my gratitude
Your love is the greatest in its plenitude
On Earth, you are my God, you cannot fathom
how much I adore you, I will ever owe you so!!
