….. TO EACH AND EVERY MOTHER IN THE PAST, IN THE PRESENT AND IN THE FUTURE.
I fail to understand……..says the inner voice of every child with awe and admiration………
The mighty ocean bows in reverance to YOU,
The boundless sky says I am not infinite like YOU,
The mother earth says I am strong, but not stronger than YOU
Hey MUM, what stuff are you, I fail to understand,
You are all in all , your dexterity amazes me
Your skill and ease is beyond my conception,
Your depth of love, surpasses all human emotions,
Hey MUM,what stuff are you, I fail to understand.
All in nature wanes and wilts, slowly but persistantly,
Even the air around diminishes after certain altitude,
Yet your rebounding energy is neither dissipating nor diffusing,
HeyMUM, what stuff are uou, i fail to understand,
You are constant, you are matchless, like nothing around,
Tou are there when i am high and when I am low,
You share my mirth, my melancholy , burying your own pain,
Hey MUM, what stuff are you , i fail to understand.
You bind us with morals, with sacrifice, with heart felt prayers,
Inducing in us an unarmoured, invincible, indomitable spirit,
Hey MUM, what stuff are you, i fail to understand.
Like an abyss, is your undying hope,
A hope that rekindles,resuscitates our defeats, our failures,
You engulf our negativity, creating a new entity,
Hey MUM, what stuff are you, I fail to understand.
You plan and execute our lives beatifully,
Designing our every move, every motive,
You channel our resources thoughtfullytowards success,
HeyMUM, what stuff are u, I fail to understand.
You are the greatest warrior, admits every other warrior,
You can at times heal, that medicine cannot, admits the doctor,
your arguementd are undefeatable, admits the lawyer,
Hey MUM, what stuff are you , i fail to understand.
Let us all pause, think, reflect and thank the great creation,
For she has been bestowed as God’s wonderful guide,
To counsel, mentor and pilot us forward,
Holding us tight even after death sets us apart.
