An ode to mother

I count myself to be amongst the luckiest

For I have turned a sexagenarian,

But I am still being treated like a child

By my mother, an octogenarian! 

While professional matters requiring my decision 

Took a toll on my mind and health ,

For all the personal matters 

My mother’s wisdom is my wealth! 

And childlike behaviour displays every child

Who has the luxury of having mother, 

I still yearn for her, especially when in pain,

As if there’s none other! 

A child can dedicate an ode to mother

And celebrate Mother’s Day with pomp, show and mirth

Let’s see this from a mother’s perspective

Who only thinks of her child right from his /her birth!

  1. Wonderfully written Sir. There has never been, nor will there ever be anything quite so special as the love between a mother and a child. So selfless.
