Maa

Mom ma mummy mother

What is she?

Is she a friend

Or a guide, life coach

Or is she a teacher

No, she is a human being

With immense love

Poured into round round pooris

Or in her nagging and sometimes in her slap

Or in her tears when no one is seeing

No, she is just an ordinary woman

Who worries too much

When you are sad

Or when you are happy

Even when you yourself are a woman

She might be no one

But she understands you

Even before you were born

Yet you understand her

When you become one
