Dedicate This Day To Those Mothers Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

a mother of three
sons and daughter
engaged from dawn
to midnight
with various type
of family work
cooking, washing clothes,
sweeping and cleaning
household without any grievance
to any one

her breakfast time mid-noon
launch time after-noon
and dine at late night
when all others deep in sleep

she knows no such day
she expects no such day
she demands no such day
which will give her freedom
to distribute labor her own

common Indian mothers
majority Indian mothers
celebrate their each and everyday
in spite of fighting to establish
eight hours and their rights,
serve their family as nature
serves silently our civilization

no labor day they demand
only laughing child without
any cry of hunger they desire most
their growing ages without any danger
they pray to God almost all such mothers

this day I dedicate to them
who is the pivot of a family
but no demand to have something more
only for herself except the good of family!
