Default Where OM ends MA begins!!!

The first face I saw was of yours MA
The first feed I had was yours MA
The first time I walked was holding you MA
The first time I feared I’d fall you held MA
The first word I said when I could was MA
The first wound of mine you dressed and cured MA
The first day of school you cried with me too MA
The first time you fought with the neighbours for me you were so strong MA
The first crush of mine you knew MA
The first time I won you screamed with joy MA
The first grey hair of yours I pulled out MA
The first time after marriage while I went you choked on tears MA
The first time I went away you couldn’t speak MA
The first letter of yours made me cry so much MA
The first time I told you about being a granny you danced MA
The first time you held my baby you kissed my forehead MA
The first face my daughter saw was yours MA
Someday she too will write this to me MA
And I’d relive our life together MA
Today I write this MA
Because you are the strongest woman I know MA
I have left my life in your reins MA
BECAUSE WHERE OM ENDS MA BEGINS MA!!

I Worship you MA
Your Daughter
Devika

Wonderful Devika!

This warm and snuggly blanket of mommy's warmth woven beautifully by your words is welcome on a rather chilly day like this.

Yes, Mom is all the sweetest and fondest things in life rolled into one.

Makes me want to be a better Mom every time I think about my Mom.

Hey SS,

A very Happy Woman's Day to you dear!!

Thanks for the opening . Yes Moms warmth is always welcome. When we think of Woman's Day the first woman that comes to our minds is our Mother. Thats why I thought it apt to post something today on Woman's Day dedicated to all mothers of the world.

Hi Aqua,

Thanks for appreciating the post!!
You are so right, That is why I have said where Om ends Ma begins. In Ma ,we can all feel the presence of Om.

Regards,

Devika,

A Wonderful ode to a mother.How true.Now that we are parents ourselves, and the kids whom we have given birth to, sometimes backanswer us, then we know what our mothers did for us, and how much they went thru to raise us up, and educate us with the limited resources they had then at their disposal,sacrificing a movie, to pay our school fee.

what can i say, a moving piece.Regards.kamal

Kamalji,

Thanx for appreciating the ode.
Youre so right , Our parents have been so instrumental in shaping our lives and they have sacrificed a lot , but we never realised it till we ourselves now don the mantle of being a parent , and we realise the hardships faced by them . Our recognition fo the efforts is their ultimate solace in life!!

Devika
