There was this beautiful angel
who provided me love when I was hurt
did I return the same affection?… No.

There was this beautiful angel
who made me happy when I was down
did I help in her sorrows?… No.

There was this beautiful angel
who shared my victories as hers
did I rejoice in her happiness?… No.

There was this beautiful angel
who filled my hunger with her food
did I ever think of her health?… No.

There was this beautiful angel
who gave in everything for me
did I ever care for her?… No.

Alas! what a selfish wreck I am…
Sorrow engulfed with sharp pain in my heart
And again there she was! The beautiful angel…
To prevent me from crying
But I cried.
This time I won’t repeat the mistake.

I heard the sweet voice once more…
I realised there is no boundaries…
As I shared my love with her…
I felt something unique…
Unconditional love…
And nothing can equal
This beautiful angel called mother..
