Mother Poem by Umasree Raghunath

As I entered this world
I found a face shining like gold
There was a charm
and a touch making me go calm
I forgot my first cries
and enjoyed the first ties

As my little lips opened for food
you are there with things good
You have fed food for my hunger
and dreams for my thoughts to linger
For all the little pains, a balm
and giving your hands to my little palm

As I learned to walk a little
You held my fingers to stop tittle
from the new steps I learned to take
and goahead without any break
As I growed out of being weak
You thought me words to speak

As I talked non -stop, you shouted
but could see you as you smiled
with a pride of being my precious mum
who guides me always through drums
the little mistakes i used to do
never irated you to anything new

As I climbed the garden trees
you only jumped along with me
as I ran through the flowing waters
you only wished rain to make it complete
As I made my paper boats
You only got the stuff ready....


As I walked to the nearby school
You had the pride as I won a Nobel
The little sentences for I struggled
a teacher in you taught and consoled
my little brain to receive it with gay
and enjoy the days with a glowing ray


As I enjoyed my favorite sport
you were there with a real support
little bottles of lime and snacks
to regain my energies with nack
as I left my shoes and baggage
you picked me up with my luggage

As I grow up from a little toddler
to a charming little girl, you wonder
how your love would transform
to a little woman beside you with charm
you nourished my shyfull self
to a more vibrant individual beyond gulf

As I stretched my arms to reach you
every day with a lovely touch was new
as i took the life's best decisions
you stood beside to guide me through
chasing as your own, all my tensions
with the same poise, demour and laisons

As I went to the big brothers school
to do my higher studies with a wisdom pool
you shined with grace in my mind
to keep me going with the wind
forgetting the little tragedies that shook
me often with the books of Robin Cook

As I learned to live away from you,
the most you were with me true
when I felt I have no one to cry on
you have showered your prayers upon
the little flowers that fall in my garden
and the tiny weeds that never be laden

As I taught I need you no more
I was stuck with the tears galore
suddenly, i could feel your hand on mine
and sitting you across the table to dine
tears are gone, and cheers begun
with you around, it is always fun


Thank you Mom, for being mine
With Your blessing and Love, I am always fine........................
