Mother

Mother your love has no definition,

Your love cannot be diluted, for it,

Encompasses the vastness of the skies,

The depths of the oceans, it has no borders

No limits, I cannot measure the sincerity,

Of your love, or your emotions towards

Your children, unbelievable in its intensity.

My mind goes back to my childhood years,

A small sneeze you would be at my side;

A worried frown creasing your forehead.

You would be a Doctor fussing over me,

I would be late, you would be awake.

Many nights have passed mother, waiting.

Your relief on seeing me, and the universal question,you have had your food?

I would go to bed not bothered to ask.

You had your food mother.

I sometimes forget, you too are human.

You too have feelings, you too cry,

You too have pain, you too can fall sick,

I have taken you for granted.

I cannot care for you as you cared for me,

For dear mother your love is eternal.

Thanking you would make me a stranger,

Gratitude would make me an outsider,

Mother your love for your children,

Is omnipotent,omnipresent, and omniscient.

A thankless job, you do it with a smile.

My search for a visible God, Dear mother,

Begins and ends at your threshold.
