In sickness and health,
I seek refuge and comfort from you,
Oh mom !
Innumerable times have I disrespected you,
But whenever I am down I always come to you,

I may look around in despair,
In search of help,
But where to go I think to myself,
Without you I feel torn,
I have no one there to assist me,

Oh mom !
I maybe old,
But not enough to walk through this war-zone,
It's your hand that leads me to success,
How can i be so blind?

That one night,
In my room I lay in the dark,
Alone I tried to fight my fear,
Mom, you were away,
And I was so scared,

That one time I remember,
In school I fell,
I sprained my leg,
I bled a lot and cried for someone to help,
But no one really payed attention,

Everyday as I grow mature,
I see you old and frail,
Your stress lines and wrinkles seem to appear,
Your face so pale,
But till today you're there to mentor me and guide the way.
