Oh, Mother
After months in your womb, enduring
endless emotions and anxieties
You get to hold the bundle of joy
The first sight of the teeny-weeny entity
is heavenly bliss.
Oh, Mother
In the stillness of the night
You cradle the child with such tenderness,
whispering dreams and ideals...
When those tiny hands hold your heart
A bond - stronger than life itself
A love pure, as pure can be…
Time stands for eternity.
Oh, Mother
Through endless days and sleepless nights
You smile through the weary haze
Each milestone, each first step -
for you, a priceless treasure!
In those eyes, you see a reflection of
your unwavering strength
Every tender embrace nurtures
the infant's body and soul.
Oh, Mother
When the moment of Letting Go
comes, you hide that silent tear and smile:
Make a mark for yourself, my child
The world is all yours!!
