Mother's day

Most of the time we tend to take our near and dear ones for granted, especially, our mothers. Though we should be aware that mothers deserve a better deal from us all the time, it's also true that that act of 'taking-for-granted' itself is a sure sign of unselfish and unconditional love. We know all the time that no matter what happens, no matter how utterly negligent we have been to our mothers, no matter how indifferent we have been at times towards her, she would always be there for us and by our side, without a hinge of complain, with a basket full of love. This is the greatest feeling on earth. This is the graetest gift from GOD.

Someone once said very truly,"GOD can not be everywhere, thus HE created MOTHER"

It's Mother's day here again and we realize the important role a mother plays throughout our lives behind the scene, unnoticed and almost unappreciated.

My Mother

Some years back, when I was in college, when I was alone, I wrote this poem on my Mother...it goes like this: 

MY MOTHER ---------- 

Friends galore around I talk and I laugh; 

I do have the freedom 

To do what I like... I sing, I dance and make merry; 

There is, however, lacking something- It's you my dear! 

Oh you dear, How often I miss you! 

You are not there- When I sit with my book 

To give me a glass of milk; 

When I can not grow 

To push me from behind; 

When I am in distress 

To console me in your lap; 

When I am in darkness 

To lead me to light; 

When I am lost in the wilderness 

To show me the path; 

When I am nothing 

To make me something. 

Often do I get angry with you 

Often do I neglect you 

Often do I ignore you 

You have loved me the same, non-the-less 

I am nothing without you, 

Maa, I am nothing without your love.
