Celebrating Mother's
Day May 9, 2010
On Mother’s Day
Mother-child relationship is compulsive
Linked by umbilical cord, though severed.
Magnetic, her relationship is intuitive.
She nourishes as a bird
Feeds its young ones
Until the fledglings fly away.
As the grown-ups take leave
Mother groans but prepares for the next
coming.
The hatchlings coil round their snake-mother
As the puppies and kittens and calves
Are always around their mother;
This is the ploy of Nature
To play with her world of creature.
Besides her primordial motherhood
Her feelings and emotions renewed
The human mother keeps her children to her
breast
Affectionately, forever.
Original source of birth and strength,
Humans attribute motherhood to their country
Realize motherhood in divinity
They learn their language as the
Mother-tongue;
Mother’s name to them is a song.
Mother is at the centre stage of creation
She dwells at the head of population.
We hail you Mother!
On you auspicious day together.
