Ode to motherhood
Ode to motherhood
Maa,
I couldn't thank you enough for the pains you suffered while giving me birth,
I couldn't share those struggle of nine months that you selflessly carried with sugary smiles,
The safest embrace of my infancy lies in your eternal smile and angelic arms,
Those toothless smiles of mine you adored which I never really knew is so special to you until I being myself a mother.
Maa,
How you handled all the worldly baggages of inferiority complex ,
aging and fear of everything so easily and when too you're much younger than dad,
The silent nights sometimes became a rollercoaster ride for you when I cried unknowingly but yours arms became my sweetest place to slumber and yet you make sure I sleep unafraid.
That's okay my little one you said each time i look at you worried And you kicked out the horror out of the window with a big laugh,
Lips still trembled but you giggled so that I could feel better.
Maa,
If I could have said that let your curly hair fly and kiss gently your dimple cheeks,
You might see and found the beauty of you sneaked by the side of your messy bun and tired face,
Maa I had never seen you eaten but you never forgot to feed me even in your most toughest days,
Maa my little eyes often seen you awake at night weaving sweaters and stockings as it was time for winters.
Maa,
Should I say ignore the world,
ignore everything ,
ignore them you find hurting your tender cores,
And don't bother because no one cares what is wrong with you,
the truth about your sipping into unhealthy obsessions perhaps is a scariest thing but I can understand you're going through different changes,
Blushing with the wrinkles on your body needs a courage and you easily flaunt it with grace.
Maa you can't hide anything from me,
I knew you decluttered the luxuries of your life to save a little for me although you're not habituated with it still you said its fine and kindled a smile always,
Maa ,
I knew how much you liked the fragrance of petunia and the cocoa coffee beans you planted a year ago before my birth,
I heard you had read poems to me on every weekends which I am truly addicted until now.
Maa ,
You exchanged your dreams and accepted the responsibilities of a mother for I am your topmost priority,
Harder efforts you made to fulfill my every desired wishes,
Maa you never felt shame when I would pee on you in front of others,
How many times I would have did that to you but you still with a smile you cleanse all the mess and organise everything perfectly again.
Maa, I noticed that you never take a good care of you but whenever I sneezed even one time you had called the doctor hundred times,
Maa you value of each little things of us perhaps we children failed to value you and your efforts but I pledge it won't be happening from now.
Maa you always pray to God for my well-being but I never saw you praying for yourself,
You became happy when you listened the word "Maa" from us,
You never forget to shower the love and care and that too when you're working as housewives.
Maa, I don't know where does this heaven exists but I felt that peace and warmth in your lap and arms and your words comfy my paining heart,
Maa you can do anything and everything because god had blessed with such magical powers and Me too agreed on this,
Maa, I knew this whole journey is not a simple one but a pretty most longest and toughest journey but you won't be leave it at the middle,
The late night poem you weaved in minute made us wander in the dream lands and you whispered with a kiss and patted my head,
Maa the promises you made when I was in your womb that too you never forgot and till now you kept yourself reminded everytime .
