Mother’s Day

It’s your special day

But you know that ,

I don’t need one day to tell you

That you are my world!

 

The grass is always green

And the sky is always blue,

The way these are facts,

Similarly my love for you too

Is a simple fact of nature.

 

I am what you made me,

I owe all my successes to you,

My past, present and future

Are yours mother.

 

I love you from the

Bottom of my heart,

My love for you

Is deeper than the pacific,

Brighter than the sunlight,

Shinier than the stars,

Purer than the ice,

And higher than the Everest!
