Mother

By Sainath.RA

How can I explain the inexplicable?

How can I describe the ineffable?

My words and poem will never prevail,

But let me at least try.

Mother; like you there is no other,

You offer lavish love in large scale,

You cuddle me when I stumble.

With strong grit, guts and wit

Closely knit in your spirit.

From labour pain during childbirth

To pain of labour throughout life,

How can you endure all this and more?

Bearing what can barely be borne,

Cheering me when I am forlorn.

Words won’t suffice

To appreciate your sacrifice.

Waking up with endless energy,

Doing all your duties without lethargy.

Caring, caring and caring without limit.

Being bold and humble every minute.

How do you do this?

Like a star, how do you shine so bright?

Tell me so that I can write.

O Mom! You are a beautiful poem.

Before you, my poem fails.

O Mom! You are a paragon and a true gem.

Please smile with joy and

Complete my poem.
