Happy Mothers' Day Poem by Zubaida Boland

to the most fascinating person of all
shall i dedicate these words kept within me
to the best friend a human being could ever have
shall i speak
nine months
were as painful for you
as my life would be without you
i keep wondering
how grateful i am and will be
forevermore to you
for giving me such a life
filled with pleasure
having you around
is enough to keep me smiling
all my life
you are the only person
whose yelling was never about hate or anger
neither was your punishment
anything of that kind
meant your love,
care and empathy to me
whenever it seems like my world's falling apart
i feel the need of hugging you
and talking to you
so, obedient shall i always be to you
thanks to you, i have a wonderful life
you raised me, that 's what i'm so happy about
mom, it's nice having you around
it's a bliss being with you
and for this bliss i shall envy myself.
