My Mother Poem by Sanjib Das

Oh! Mother, Do you know
What you are to me?
You are not only the woman,
Who gave birth to me.
You are ineffable, simply ineffable,

You have the most beautiful eyes
They are more resplendent than
The brightest sun on earth.

You give me a divine light
A light which shines a glitter to show me
Of my wandering wayward deeds.
You teach me to love everyone
Without caste or creed.

You teach me to walk the portals of,
Rules of proper thought.
Today you are in Heaven,
And I am without my Venus.
