Since I was a child my mother taught me a life-worth lesson
I used to call her name and said “MAMA!” from time to time but she’s not there.
When Papa asked me to buy something and I encounter the dog barking on me in the street,
I called your name, and you did not come.
When, I slipped in and got my knee wounded,
I called your name, and you did not come.
When I fell from the bicycle got my head bumped in a stone,
I called your name, and you did not come.
When I’ve been hurt in every lil things I encountered,
I called your name, and you did not come.
When my classmates in kindergarten made fun of me and I cried,
I called your name, and you did not come .
When my cousin threw a ladle and hit me in my forehead,
I called your name, and you did not come
When I got bullied by my elementary and highschool classmates,
I called your name, and you did not come.
When I got my first heartbreak and it hurts so much,
I called your name, and you did not come.
When a stranger followed me while I was walking in a sleeping street,
I called your name, and you did not come.
When life became so cruel and I have no one to hold on,
I called your name, and you did not come.
When I feel so down and no one to lean on,
I called your name, and you did not come.
For every time I called your name and you did not come, I have no grudge because I know you are fighting different battle for us, your children.
For every time I called your name and you did not come, I do not blame you, because I just called your name, I did not shouted it, and it made me strong and brave by simply calling your name.
For every time I called your name and you did not come I got no angry with you, because I know you are teaching me lesson.
You taught me to be brave enough to face every circumstance that made me be-little myself.
You taught me to face the cruel life by my own.
You taught me to not be scared in every step I am taking.
You made me so independent which I realized that only I could help me out in a maze-like destiny I am in.
Thank you Mom for a valuable lesson you teach us in everyday of our life.
I may have failed so many times, but I know I always got perfect score to you.
I am forever grateful to have you as my Mom.
And if I fail another thousand times, I don’t care because I know with you and Papa, I WIN LIFE !
Happy Mom’s day, ILOVEYOU to the universe and back.
