Mama Dearest

a poem by Nandita Pai

Any problem and I go to her,
She will always help me out.
She is the most caring mother,
Of that there is no doubt.
She does everything she can for me,
Expecting nothing in return.
To care and love others,
From her I did learn.
Talking and laughing away,
Together we have so much fun,
We go on outing often,
Be it in the rain or the sun.
While in the kitchen,
Making a dish a new,
Her favourite bhajans,
She keeps listening to.
A mother like mine,
Is very rare,
All I want to say is,
For her I really care.
