You cuddled me tight when I was small,

You sympathised when I couldn’t grow tall.

You showed me the simpler things in life,

You instilled in me to be a good daughter, a sister, a wife…

Your eyes were tearful; when I had to cry,

You understood always; you never asked why.

You taught me to always be positive,

You said the petty things were always relative…

You were the pillar of my strength; you never broke,

You easily laughed at cruelty; as a humourless joke!

You were the best of my friends; with me all the way,

For all this & so much more…Happy Mother’s Day!
