Mother's Love

Reminiscent of those times, 

When I used to run away during mealtime,

And, how patiently and lovingly you fed me with your hands.

When I used to hide behind you, 

Dreading the lizard on the wall,

And how you used to cover me, 

And scared away the lizard, and together we danced.

When I used to sleep halfway, 

Through a movie, 

And on waking up, 

I used to find myself on your lap. 

When I used to fall ill and be bedridden, 

How you used to take charge of my recovery,

By caring for me day and night. 

When I used to cry after a tiff with a friend, 

You used to make me laugh by enacting my favourite cartoons. 

For the motivation in times of failure, 

For the appreciation in moments of success,

For the unsaid understanding as I grew up, 

For the trust and confidence in me always. 

Thanks for being there Mom. 

As days pass by,  

And staying far from you, 

I realize, how much I miss those times.

But I know, your love, care, and support will always be there with me.

Coz it's the hearts that connect us in ways indescribable.
