Mother

Mother the universal word for

Selflessness

The universal word for love

The universal word for caring

The first word a baby utters

Mother every one takes you for  granted

Mother you give every one what is wanted

 You keep the household steady and stable

Every morning everything is on the table

Nobody your husband or children sees your sweat

No one sees your tiredness

For you hide them from your family 

While they complain to you about the smallest pain

One day mother just lie down 

For a day

Then see your family go astray

As total confusion reigns 

In their own house, they lose their way

Then when they miss your everyday presence

They come and stand before you lost souls

Understanding dawned on them

That you are a priceless gem

If your absence for one day 

Their lives go haywire

They sit next to you your husband and your children

Cuddle you cry with you

No more will they ignore you

You are a part of their life

Now and forever
