Mother Poem by shakil ahmed

Mother


I have a mother like all
Who used to answer my call
In the dead of cold frozen night
Who used to hold me clinging tight.

When I was shivering like a reed in fever
I found her only a solace giver
She sat beside me keeping her hand over my head
She sat motionless and never went to bed.

She kissed me on my forehead
And prayed to God for her dear lad
She took nothing through out the whole night
And waited for the morning light

When in the morning fever subsided
She took a heavy sigh and became light hearted
She took her meal after twelve hours
And bowed to God in thankful prayer.
