Thank You Mom!

Thank You Mom!

As I look through haze

To all those past years and days

You taught me how to stand and walk

To give my head a toss

Whenever I begin to act like a boss

You taught me how to defend what’s right

And to never back down from a flight

When time got tough you told us they would be alright.

We never wondered how you survived,

All those years of grief, and revive.

You are the strongest person I have ever known

Who smiled down at the world while feeling so down.

When we got sick you stayed up all night

Praying that we would soon be alright

I remember my first doll

While u gave Bhiyya* his ever wanted ball

I remember my first ride, first wreck

You picked me up said “what the heck!”

Persuaded me to give one more try

While knees skinned I forgot to cry

With every turn of our lives you were there

Now making you happy is our only care

You are the sunshine of our hearts

You are the thousand winds that blow

You are the diamond glint on snow

You are the beauty of a sinking sun

Being near you is always so fun

The way you laughed to see your son first shaven

Making our world appear like a little piece of heaven

We found our bestest friend in you

With whom we can always be frank and true

Like earth revolve around the sun

Our world revolve around you, and no one!

You are the sunshine on ripened grain

You are the joy of a desert’s rain

You are our mom, you are our dad

The only thing we ever had, is you

As so I thank you!

More than you would know

Than I would ever show

And so I thank you!
