HEART OF A MOTHER
The one who took my heart
You never took me to the moon
Yet you brought me to the sun
I have never been near the sky
But you took me to play in the rain

Like a super mom in my eyes, you were
Super burned in your memories, seen so many
Women who use selfless devotion wind up having
Less self to give to their loved one, been on your
Sight in your worst, the sacrifice of debt which some
Are priceless

How can I repay that debt? You went through hardship
For hard work, I cannot count the bruise or morning I
Heard you groaning, always wonders of yours scars
Yet you kept saying it was ok, has it in my eyes?

You never chosen any easy way out and been too frazzled
To squeeze in anything for you, moment after moment
It was me before you neither did you gave up, always lean
On your feet like a soldier for protection, I will never ask
For a better mother.
