Mother Poem by Pravat Kumar Mandal

Mother, why don't you tell the story now
Sleeping songs you sang as before?
Mother, do you think I'm old enough
I don't need you to sleep anymore?

Mother, kids are the kids with their mother
Tell me how I have grown up hence?
Whenever I hide from your affectionate eyes
Then why do you lose your patience?

Mother, your love is the greatest asset
How can I deny this real truth?
Mother, you are my safe secure heaven
I'll be here forever - it's my oath.
