Mother of Mine

By Sanjita Banerjee

Mother of mine my small hands reach out to you,

As we both watch the sunset of Malibu.

Your warmth, love and joy reminds me of a pretty summer day in a gazebo;

Your comforting presence is all I need to know.

Your beautiful laughter and twinkle eyes are ever so lovely,

No matter how much I try I can never be really angry.

Your never ending love is all I ask for,

When I look back all I need to know that you remember.

Every fight we fought is worth the bond we share today.

You are the best friend anyone can ask for,

But I shall not allow anyone to take you away for you are mother of mine and no other.

You are the strongest person I know;

Your every pain, every sacrifice didn't go in vain,

For you are today a strong woman with a mind of your own.

Every birthday is the reminder of you being a survivor,

The reminder that you are your own person first.

You are our little family's amulet;

You are peace to my ever growing soul.
