Angel

Dedicated to my MOM and all mothers in the world

It started on one fine day

Forcing her to take rest and lay

She felt weak and dizzy

Barely able to stand up nimbly

But her face was glowing and she was gay

She thought “It’s my lucky day, Hurray!!”

She knew she had lot more to endure

And that it is going to be a very long tenure

With each passing day, the intensity increased

She started to feel the weight and her mobility ceased

She could not sit, stand or walk with agile

And trying to stay normal was futile

She accepted everything with smile of angel

She never complained, neither did she sniffle

Aware of the fact that the end would tear her

Never did she blabber or never did she banter

Time rolled and the ordeal was for three quarters

She faced the end with a dignity of warriors

It made her bleed and tore her apart

The pain had almost stopped her heart

The sun pierced the sky and splashed it with red

It broke the dawn, starting a new day ahead

The worm had to break away from the cocoon

To emerge as a butterfly and enjoy the moon

The ordeal was complete and I was born

And with love she admired her firstborn

I salute her and give her a salaam

All I can say is “I love you Mom”
