Passing by a graveyard yesterday
I saw a man crying severely at one grave
As an act of sympathy I went to him and held his hand
and asked, ” What makes you cry so much, dear man.'

'Under this mound of sand lies a great person', said he
'Such a loving and caring mother was she
From childhood to manhood she loved me deep
Even though I deserted her in my youth

She had 1 eye due to which I hated her
When she visited my school my friends laughed at her
I was always mocked because of her
Hers coming to my school was embarrassing for me

I was so stupid, so unwise
When one day without thinking I cried
'Why can't you leave me and go away?
You are making my life tougher day by day! '

So bad was my treatment towards her
Till the time I was sure I could abandon her
To leave her for good
And stand on my own foot

I left her and went far away
I married the most striking lady
And never missed my dear mummy
Did not even call her on my marriage ceremony
