Dear Amma!!

Today, the 10 of October, is Amma's birthday! Happy birthday Ma! I would like to thank you for being the best mother in the world, and for bearing me for 18 long years! Love you!

This is a poem I wrote on Mother's Day when I was in Class VII. Our class teacher had asked each one of us to do something special, and I chose to write a poem. Amma has preserved this sheet till date and this poem is a reflection of the innocence and the purity I once had.



Dear Mom

You have heard every heartbeat of mine
And always stood on top of me like a pine
I know you will always keep me in line
Be it sixty years old or nine

You have been with me in my ups and downs
In my smiles and frowns
You've seen me wear my beautiful crown
In my beautiful dress which was brown

You will always protect me from evils
Let it be even rice weevils!
I know when you say you hate me
You actually love me even more

Sometimes your scoldings are like bitter gourd
I got you. I thank lord.
You are the home minister
Just exactly like a younger sister
Who cares and shares but never dares

I got you
I got everything
I didn't get you
I get nothing
To the most special person, my mom.


I would like to thank you ma for being the person that you are, for the things you've done as well as those that you haven't. Thank you for being there when I needed you the most, thank you for being my mother! I may not have been the best daughter in the world but you are certainly the best mother I could have asked for!

Thank you!
