My mother’s lap

I opened my eyes

Found myself

In my mother’s lap

I cried, I played,

Laughed and smiled

In my mother’s lap

I grew older

But it was still mine

When tired,to rest

I climbed in the lap

When shy,

I hid my face
When hungry

She fed me in her lap

When sleepy

I used it as a bed

Warm and secure

Full of love

It was the coziest place

I could have

I am an old man now

But never forget

The luxury

Of my mother’s lap

The most precious

Possession

I ever had

Tears flow from my eyes

Makes me nostalgic

Whenever I remember

My mother’s lap

Mother

 Everybody utter

They love their mother

Many of them

Do not respect woman

One who is a 

Mother to other?

Or one day

Shall become a mother

A mother is a mother

Same sacrifices,

Same pains

She has to bear

May be a king 

May be a pauper

None could exist

Without a woman

Known as a mother

The nurse was like a mother to him

He could not speak,

He could not move

Kept lying

On the hospital bed

With eager eyes

Kept looking at the door

He was waiting

For the nurse to arrive

His face lit up

When he saw the nurse

Greeted her with a big smile

How are you?

And good morning she said

To show his happiness

He giggled a bit

And looked into her eyes

His eyes got wet

As if he got 

Everything he wanted

The nurse was like 

A mother to him

He was like a child to her

Did everything what a child needed

Love and care she provided

Never did he felt  

The absence of his mother

The Importance Of Elders

There was a little Sparrow 

Happy and Thrilled  

She would fly for first time today

Mother told her to be near her

So that she can take care of her

They started flying together

Little one felt,

On the top of the World

Left and Right ,Up and Down

She kept flying

Moving away from the Mother

Never bothered ,to look around

She didn’t knew there were

Falcons in the World

One was eyeing to make prey of her

The mother realized the Danger

Flew towards the small One

Saved her from the clutches of the Falcon

Little one Realized

The importance of Elders
