Mother Poem by dipak adhya

Mother

You don't ever know
How many dejections are there
Hidden in my heart
You only see me as usual.
It is true,
Your little son is still just the same
But when I see in your eyes
Larger expectations
My heart lingers to perform
I try hard
And when success comes
I know it is yours blessings
That enticed me to do this.

I know what I am,
But you see in me a larger than life personality
And I feel ashamed
My peers may think me snobbish,
I care for none
Just then I take pride in
For being your son
And your loving affection
As if you are a big tree
And under your shade
I'm merely a little sapling!
