A Mother's Day Special Poem

Renuca Burman Kumar, H.No. 305

May is a month for celebrating

Mother’s Day across the world. A

month to honour a mother’s devotion,

sacrifice and unconditional love for

her children. On every Mother’s Day I

honour my daughter for coming into

my life and teaching me the real

meaning of being a mother.

This is a thank you poem for my

daughter:

People know that I gave birth to you,

but the truth is you gave birth to me, a

"MOTHER"

You came with no instructions!

But you were ready to learn along

side me.

You were growing, so was I

You were watching me and I was

watching you,

I was teaching you but in reality, you

were teaching me to be a mother.

You taught me what unconditional

love really meant,

You taught me what it meant to stay

up all night but not be tired in the

morning,

You taught me how a mother could

skip a meal while rocking the baby

and not feel hungry,

You taught me that day could become

night and night could turn into day,

When the Sun came up, when the Sun

went down?

You have brought so much meaning

to my life that I will be indebted to you

for many lifetimes...

You are my little miracle, a ray of

hope, the twinkle in my eyes.

On the day of my birth, a child was

born, but I was born with your birth.

Thank you for being in my life.

Love,

Mommy
