We entered this world held safe in your arms,
Unknown to suffering and shielded from harms;
You led us through life with your gentle hand,
You watched as we crawled and taught us to stand;
Through thick and through thin you’ve helped us succeed,
Given us voices and taught us to read;
We walked in the dark, but you gave us light,
Weeding the wrong and planting the right;
Devoted your life so that we could have ours,
Plucked us the moon and served us the stars;
And when we were careless, and turned you our backs,
You set our paths straight with a few hearty whacks.
Now that we’re older, and oft walk alone,
You’re there for us still, the comfort we’ve known;
Heartfelt devotion, selfless pain,
Ceaseless toil for love’s humble gain;
What else is there, but for us to say,
'We wish you a happy Mother's Day!' |
