ME AND MY MOTHER


Me  and  My Mother


This Mother’s day I stand on the periphery of two generations
I glance at my mother and then tenderly look at my daughter
My mother born with a silver spoon but in unfavourable times
When women had no voice, no choice
But my daughter is today’s force
She sure has a voice, with this belief I give wings to her dreams.

I gaze back and peep into my shadows
I delve deep into my Mother’s heart
Big enough to love all, endure all, give all
Resilient but extremely vulnerable
The values she holds on to, are becoming obsolete
People like her too are rare.

I too have a Mother’s heart, split into two
It is tender yet acts tough
One has a yearning and the other sings songs of melancholy
They say -a mother’s heart never betrays
It never conceits prejudices
But if it does, it speaks of no ordinary circumstances.


God smiled at the mother who came to Him to seek His blessings for her child but would not let her child remain alone with Him in His own house, such is a Mother’s heart.

Loads Of Love To All Mothers!
