To Every Mother

This was written by one of my friends(Deepak chhabra). He wrote for his mother to gift her on Mother's Day. Sorry Deepak, I am copying your poem. I am dedicating this to for all mothers from their children.

It follows like below....

You were there when I first opened my eyes,

And also when I needed you to shun my cries.

You are the gift which every child gets,

You are the one who makes us learn the alphabets.

The first word which I spoke was you,

I pray to god that this love shall accrue.

I took my first step with your hand and your support,

And whenever I thought I can not do, you won’t let me abort.

Every time I had fallen, I have seen the pain you had,

I always looked into your eyes though I was surrounded by dad.

I have seen you sleeping on wet bed sheets, just to give me dry.

You taught me everything from why monkeys jump and why birds fly.

You can hear my cry from millions of miles away,

I remember all your kisses, as if it was yesterday.

When I started walking, I always made you run,

Without your company all those homeworks would not have been fun.

You packed my lunch box, combed my hair and filled my water bottle.

You were the one who made even the worse class of school days gentle.

When I come home with dirty clothes and bruises all over,

I got hugs, kisses, chocolates and you will eat the food leftover.

No one liked my silly jokes but you always laughed,

There is only string by which my injury and your pain are attached.

When my days were dull and evenings were boring,

You gave me the love, the affection and made me feel like a king.

You have witnessed me growing inch by inch.

Every time I had fallen, you were the one who got the pinch.

With your nutrition I grew tall like a bamboo,

And that brought all the happiness in the world to you.

My board exams came and you burned the midnight’s oil with me,

I did mistakes, Dad shouted at me but you handled the situation aptly.

Amidst the love, the time came when I left the city for my education,

You cried in the bath room and told me “go ahead my champion”.

It was tough for me to adjust in the new city without your presence.

You gave me all the support and told me that good days will shortly commence.

Each visit from my college to home would give me some extra pound,

I was hard to say you goodbye but I knew that you were always around.

Soon I graduated from the college with a job,

You were the happiest person in the earth and told me never to snob.

Years have passed after that and I am still away,

But your love for me is long like an infinite array.

I owe you so much that even the nine planets are less,

For your love was always in excess.

When I asked for a drop you gave me the sea.

But never expected anything in return from me,

These few words cannot describe what I fell for you,

Maa, because you know how much I love you.
