A Mother's Love

                                                           

     MOTHER’S LOVE

A Love so Profound

Mere words cannot say,

A big THANK YOU!

I say on this Mother’s Day.

Been a while since

You left us Mom,

Can still feel your presence

Every night, every morn…                                         

In my darkest hours

You hold the light.

Your smile, your face

That loving embrace…

Would give anything

To again hug you tight!                                 

One more time, just one

I wish you’d say my name!

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY Ma,

FOREVER in my heart you remain.

 

“LOVE”- The most overused of all words and emotions. I however, learnt to love from my Mother. My mother wanted a boy and when I was born it seems she wept uncontrollably to the extent that her aunt offered to take me away.  “NEVER, she’s mine” shouted my mom and snatched me back into her arms…That love and possessiveness was in every thought, action and gesture towards me then on. From you Mom I learnt to Love- Possessive and Intense LOVE.

Hate- the other powerful emotion that determines our life choices. “I hate lies and Liars” mom would say while professing truth and honesty. From you mom I learnt to hate- the negative and the Deceitful.

 Hard work, Perseverance and Kindness- all I learnt from you Ma. She wouldn’t give up, though others around her had quit.

My marriage alliance fixed by her I strongly opposed-“I won’t move to the South”! Soon I thanked her. A more loving, kind and supporting partner I could have never found. The love of my life- My Mom gave to me.

My own journey to motherhood was difficult- Unsuccessful infertility treatments at Mumbai, Pune and Chennai- all of which my mother never accompanied me to. “Leave it,” she said. “Have faith. It moves mountains”. Only when I followed her advice and gave up on everything but faith- My “miracle boy" happened.  Undying Faith- in myself and The Almighty. You gave me Mom.

Everything I am today or hope to be- I owe it to my Mom, my Angel.  Selfless, unconditional and overflowing that is a mother’s love.

As I raise my two darlings each day I realize how much my mum sacrificed for us and how much she cared. Only when we become mothers ourselves do we truly value our moms. To my strength, inspiration and my life giver… Thank you Mom always!
