A mother is known by so many different names. Mother, mom, mommy, ma, momsie,mamma to list a few. One person, so many names to call by, I wonder if any other person in our life would have so many different names. I think no. Well, today is Mother’s Day and I decided to pen down my feelings on this very special day. This is a very humble effort from my side.
I’m lost in the middle of nowhere
Couldn’t find a soul with me here.
I clenched my fist tight
Couldn’t bear the silence of the scary night.
I shouted out loud, but
Who could have heard me? I doubt.
I lost all my hope and gave up
‘This is it’, I said, ‘Everything’s gone, I’m over.’
Then, my vision reached to the far horizon
My eyes kept searching for someone, so long.
I saw a shadow approaching near me
It seems like she was talking to me.
‘Come along, come along my child’, she said ‘You are not lost; you have me’,
‘Hold my hand, and don’t be afraid’, she said.
I realized, it was no one else but my mom
I caught hold of her hands
And up, she lifted me from the ground
Took me to her arms
And we flew far into the horizon.
