Thought
Soothing voice and warmth
Recognised from womb
Her smiling face appeared
When blurry vision cleared
She taught the art of giving
Sacrifice her one domain
Fondly watch play and learn
Guiding as the years turn
Who shelters you from father’s wrath?
Who guides you down a thorny path?
Who nurtures, giving nature’s all?
Who picks you up when you fall?
Who worries when a teen is late?
Who stands and waits at door and gate?
Who ensures that good food you ate?
Who serves with love and washes plate?
No end to her flowing heart
Expressed in countless ways
Hidden anxious tears cover
Burning love of caring mother
No man or son can ever know
The pain she willingly endured
Nurturing nature’s manifest
In motherhood that we are blest
Who teaches you upon her knee?
Who shows you all there is to see?
Who listens when your heart is sore?
Who comforts you in trials you bore?
Who nursed you through a fever’s fight?
Who bathed your brow throughout the night?
Who held you closer than no other?
Who can surpass the love of mother?
Prayer
O Divine Mother, I am happy to be protected and carried by Thee; who else can I turn to? Please give me the gift of gratitude and surrender, but most of all unconditional love.
No need to ask for blessings or favours, for you are ever the sweet and watchful nurse. I have but to call and you are there. You ceaselessly generate the universe, protect and destroy it in work unending.
