To her lap we retire…

ON MOTHERS’ DAY
ON MOTHERS’ DAY The lady who bears you
Is God’s choice
Best suited for you
Labors when you are
In her womb
And extends her warm lap
To make sure you are safe
In this unsafe world.
In this world which is full of
Critics and men who judge you
Eager to punish you
For your faults,
There she is who loves you
With all your faults
And when fate encounters
With multiple issues,
She sighs on your destiny
Good or bad, foul or chaste
A son is a son
And a daughter a daughter
Remember young souls
A mother too is a mother
From her lap we emerge
To her lap we retire
Which waits for us
While we are busy
In making sense of this life.
