The Resilient Superhero

I wonder why they call her a Supermum! 

Such titles are her only rewards. 

It's her time we spend in slumber;  

It's her love that flows in our veins. 

Nothing matches her inner strength.  

Is that why she is called a superhero?  

  

The Sun is her daily alarm; 

The Moon doesn't give her solace.  

Morrow's plans keep her awake;  

The night is her time for a nap.  

She is still called a superhero!  

  

No gratitude is expected in return;  

No rewards are dreamt of at the end. 

Your smiles are her only incentive  

But the engine still works, even without fuel.  

Is that why we call her a superhero?  

  

Bruises don't give her pleasure;  

Strains are never a relief.  

Insults showered aren't a bed of roses,  

Despite all, her tears can hide a world. 

That's why she is a superhero.  

  

Her life bears more than it can;  

Her heart gives without reserve  

And her dreams remain mere dreams.  

Is that why she is called a superhero?  

Is there any superhero like your MUM?
