Kabir: Mother Thinks Her Son Is Growing Poem by Ravi Kopra

Kabir: Mother Thinks Her Son Is Growing



Mother thinks her son is growing
But cannot think this:
Each day his age is getting less by one day.
She calls him: My little sweet heart
The apple of my eyes.
But Yamadoota - Lord's messenger
Of death looks at her and smiles.

-Kabir
