my mother

love of mother for her mentally challenged child...

I was laying supine
on deathbed......
staring lifelessly to the roof...
and very first time....
you whispered in my ears...
you said,"i am alive"
mother,you made somber shadow
passed away.....

i was battling to eat my food
but, the food fall from the spoon...
you feed me from your hand...
mother you take away
my blind struggle....

in restless times
when i was unable to
clean my excreta...
you hurried to me and
washed off the dirt compassionately.....
mother you kept me away from filth...

gloomy foes were putting me
into fear...
you take me into your lap..
and you said,"fear is a defilement".
mother you teach me an acceptance...

when the days were hard and the
nights were rough.....
misery was upsurging...
i scream, i cry, i squander everything....
you hold me tight...
near to your heart....
your gentle hand was over my face...
your calm eyes looking into mine...
and you said,"pain is always alluring to react".
mother you ease my trepidation of failure...

you are an instance of hope
for me...
you summon harmony for me
mother, i loved you always...
i love you forever
