Mother's Day poem written on 7th May 2016

Years roll along, but

The feeling is the same

All I can do, is write 

A poem in your name

Can we really gift

The one who gave us all

One who caught us,

Right before our fall

And how does one gift

The ones who are no more

The ones who went 

Too early and even before 

Remember your eyes,

Remember your smile,

Remember the softness 

Of your skin fragile

So much you gave me,

So much I took

So much in those two decades

Did you follow a book?

How did you know ..

That strength was nurtured 

How did you know ..

That depth was figured

You who looked tired

You who were ill

Not once did 

You make us feel

run of the mill

All I can do is join my hands

And thank you again , 

Mother...

For having been there 

As sure as the sun and the rain
