Mother Poem by Apuna Rato

Mother, you are the spring of
LIFE, JOY and HOPE.
When darkness overshadows me,
you give me the sign of LIFE
like a glowing star in moonless night sky.
For my comforts and JOY,
you veil away the tears of agony.
You give me HOPE
when all options seem strip down.
The sacrifices you made,
the pain that wedged your heart,
every wrinkle on your face; all are for my gain.
The chilling rains that dropped on you,
the blazing sun that drained your health,
the hardship you shouldered was for my well-being.
Yet mother, your still managed to smile
on me and built my world a better place to live in.
There are so many things I'd like to do for you mother.
Indeed, one lifetime isn't enough
to show all my gratitude for the world you created for me.
