I Shalt Always Be With Thou Poem by Sadashivan Nair

A woman once was ignored;
Neglected by me,
On arrival of new bride;
Photo in my purse,
Now was replaced by my wife;
Came to my rescue,
When I was in desperate need;
Though I forgot,
Spent days and nights with her;
Forgot her birthday too;
Yet she failed never in life,
kissing me, my spouse and kids,
In all my auspicious days;
A day when came,
Doctor said thy life is short
Kidney failure in critical stage;
All were shocked,
But none could help;
Mama too stood by my side,
Holding my hand;
Eyes were wet,
Rolling tears from her eyes;
The drops solaced my soul,
But depth of her pain I could feel;
She said once, yes only once,
Oh my God,
Why this to my blood?
Shalt see to it,
Thou live to care of thy kids;
I bore thou for nine months,
I gave thou birth;
Can't endure,
A tiniest pain of thou,
Tortures my heart;
Why I to live without my son...;
When gaining conscious,
Spouse handed in my arms,
A letter hand written by mom;
'It's my day, mother's day,
Though leaving this world,
I shalt always be with thou;
Stay attached as saviour mom;
My blessings to thou my son,
Shalt still be with you;
Thou may live,
As long as Sun and Earth';
