Mother 

First of all I opened my eyes

Because I heard, world’s ‘Beautiful’

And awestruck I just kept looking

To the people around so wonderful…

A lady rocked me in her arms

Day in & out she fed me on

Others made funny gestures at me

And I’d giggle till sleep took on…

My days were pretty hectic

With sponge baths, massage & food

I made sure people noticed me

At “crying out loud” I was good…

The lady who was with me always

Had a special warmth in her touch

I felt safe whenever she held me

For sure I liked her ‘very much’…

She kept me safe from strangers

Yet few took me on as a treat

I felt scared and would start crying

And that would raise her heartbeat …

As soon as she would take me

I would calm and settle down by

Her heart would beat in harmony then

And would seem to me as lullaby…

I used to speak a GODLY language

Which only she knew what meant

I never walked around like the ‘Mob’

But soon such royalty out went…

She taught me how to say ‘MAA’

And helped me up to walk

I soon started to move around

Like commoners I could talk…

She still understood me always

And cared for me as well

I soon understood my world around

And people with whom I’d gel…

Over the years lot changed

But she still remains the same

People call & know her in many ways

But for me “MOTHER” is her name. 

SHAHISM....
