Maa Poem by ABHIJIT BASU

Whatever, I do or say is nonentity
I cannot say what you mean to me
You are idol of love and care
Suffer pain for your child without any tear

You keep yourself awake all night
To make us sleep without fright
I have grown and become a Man
You shape my emotions and taught me how to stand

How to respect other human being
How to fight for the legitimate right
How to differentiate between noble and evil
You are the one who taught me lady's pride

Maa, I know God made you differently
May be he knew you are special
He gave you heart made of glass
Body made of steel and hard metal

Your love is without any intention
Which cannot be bought or sold
Maa, I still love to hold your hands
As I did before

May be I have not seen the changes
The wrinkles and stains
Your image is the same as it was
I will love you till this world remains

What I saw my Maa was doing to me
Now my wife is pursuing the same notion
The ideology inherited by generations
Passes through the Mothers to their children

My heartfelt respect to this women race
They are the one for our existence
Thus, with lots of love and respect
To my Grandmothers, Aunts and Mother

Celebrate because you are special
It is always Mother's Day
Since the day we were born
