Motherhood

Her life turned topsy turvy upon your arrival,

She transformed herself into the cocoon guarding you against all rivals,

No one taught her how to hold and care for you,

Becoming a mother, she did all of these impromptu.

Her journey began with learning the nuances of parenting,

The essence of which was loving and caring for you unrelenting.

Donning multiple hats of a chauffeur, chef, teacher, Doctor effortlessly,

Her world continued to revolve around you ceaselessly.

Patiently listening to all your squalms and whining,

And putting up with your silly taunts and mood swings,

Were the things that kept her going.

Bragging about your achievements she grins,

Beaming with pride at every accolade you win.

Lending a helping hand every time you stumble,

She ensured your stomach never got time to grumble.

Serving as a one-stop shop for all your worries,

She seldom expected any thank you’s or sorries.

Fostering and nurturing your self esteem,

She helmed you rightfully to achieve your dreams.

Treading her way through hardships and struggles,

Between her career and family, she constantly juggles

She is always there to balance the fulcrum of life,

Bearing the brunt of every little strife.
