MA - My Mother

Reading my lessons quietly

My mind went astray

I realized, how I had

Taken the moments 

Spent with my Ma, lightly

She is Omnipresent,

Showering her radiance

Like a smiling moon crescent.

Today as I sit alone

I resent:

I never took out time to say

‘I Love you Ma’

You are my most prized relation

The holiest Love, I could ever have

A stupendous blessing

That is always in my grab

Her unfailing support

Her genuine concern

Care and bliss

Snuggles and cuddle

Kisses and hugs

Flowers and tears

Her innocence

Would sometimes make her cry;

And I would also cry

To see a smile on her face

I always think of her

She is always in my heart

She is a gift from above

If there is God

Ma would be one

Nobody can be like her

This can’t be undone

I have hurt her at times

I have been rude, other times

Only later do I realize

That I am on the wrong side

But with my Ma beside

She lessened my guilt

And rectified my fault

Though Far,

I know she is near

As my heart beats

I may skip to think of her

But she thinks

Involuntarily about me

More often than her heart-beats

She is the most

Wonderful person

I have ever known

As I have slowly grown!

PS: I Love you Ma. I always now make it a point to talk to Ma, Pa and Nani (my grandmother) daily. So much so that it has become a habit or you can say a part of my daily routine. I am what I am because of them! I am blessed to have their guiding wisdom on all fronts.
