Mother’s Day Poem

On a cold wintry morning,

I wake up see her right beside me sound asleep,

I tuck myself into her blanket and wish her Happy Mothers day Mom.

I don’t think these 18years would have been possible without you in it

It’s you who has given me strength whenever I’d lost faith in myself,

It’s you who has always been the first one to congratulate me for all my achievements.

It’s you with whom I feel safe and protected.

I still remember the time when you were sick but you’d still cook for the family,

I still remember the time when you would cook extra chapatis for school so that I can share it with my friends,

I still remember the day when it was the first day of school and I was crying and weeping but you had to let me go as I’d need to stand strong and tough.

Often I say things which I don’t mean,

At times I even annoy you and yell at you, But no matter what happens no one can replace you.

I just want to thank you,

For your wisdom, your encouragement and showering your love all these years. Happy Mothers day to all the mothers out there!

-Simran Hirani
