Without you, MY MOTHER,
I cannot think a step further,
At times you are leather
unseemingly turn into feather.

Holding your hand, I learnt to walk,
In your shoulder, I learnt to talk,
Now when my mistakes pile to a bulk,
Why don`t you beat and forgive this hulk?

For your intense care,
Harshest sonditions I can bare,
Will rip through any scare!
I would do anything, I swear..

With two decades of unfaultering nurture,
You grew me up into a good creature,
Without you, would have been an useless structure,
My life dedicated you is just a gesture........
