MY MOTHER

A new home my fragile self has found
Life or death, but grace abound
An egg, my lovely self-has found
Released by my mother, a hope I have got.

Life in her, a place of comfort
I lived well, in my strong place of fort
Day upon day, I hope to be her guest
The human of whom I am a pest
In my mother, a hope I have got.

Here it is, the day we would meet.
A day of bittersweet
In pain, she groans, in pity I moan
But my little self caused her the pain
Happy she caused me, pain I caused her, a mysterious koan.
In my mother, a hope I have got.

Up I grow and happy she is.
The little she has, she shares with me
The trouble I cause, she bear with me
For good I do, she rejoice with me
For times I fail, she grieves me.
In my mother, a hope I have got.

Now a boy, I say to myself
Independence, a dream I now got
Glowing in my badself
The good she has done, my heart has forgot
In my mother, a hope I have got

How she denied herself of the pleasures of life
A palatable life, I live in school
At the cost of a woman in pain
Day and night, she works for me
But my little self-sees as my right
In my mother, a hope I have got.

The house of the Lord, she has taught me to stay
Up in the night, she has taught me to pray.
GOD is always there she has taught me to say
Worry and fear, she taught me to allay
In my mother, a hope I have got.

The little boy is now getting matured
Off from home, I stay away from home
Days and months have passed I have not seen my mum
With tears in my heart, I put up this post
Missing my mum, my heart calls for her
In my mother, a hope I have got

Wish to make you proud, my darling mum
May your prayers abide with me
A long life, may GOD grant you
The good you’ve done, I hope to repay
In my mother, a hope I have got.
