What A Mother Really Is! Poem by Ujjal Mandal

‘Ma'- the word sounds very little but
The world has not enough words to describe a mother.
A mother is born affectionate.
The moon that had been illuminating the earth for so long,
It hid the face after mother was being created.
When a mother smiles, it seems as if the falling
Fountain makes a song of peace.
A mother is the garnish of life.
Life except mother is the black stone into the deep sea.
The star of eyes is a mother;
The pulsation of heart is a mother;
And the thinking in the mind is a mother.
So tell me- do you have your own?
Bloom her like the lotus in the nectar
Of your mind.
