MY MOTHER, MY SAVIOR: Ode to the Light of Our Homes

They, who give their all, Real sacrifices they make every day, A person who might not be fair and tall, “That is my mother!”, I say

Wakes up at three, Ready to face the challenges she sees Cooks breakfast and makes me tea, I appreciate the simple things she does for me

Stays up all day, and sleeps at midnight, She does to provide for the family with all her might Even when she’s tired, she still makes dinner a sight, And the last thing I hear at the end of the day is her “Goodnight.”

A stressful day takes a toll on me, Tires my mind and weakens my knees. But a gentle touch from her loving hands Eases my worn-out self, And sinks my anxiety like quicksand

A mother who is also a father, Works day in and day out for her son and daughter.

A woman who acts like a man and carries everything on her shoulder, I salute your bravery and strength to face obstacles head-on without falter

A father who is also a mother, Serves his family even without the help of the other. A man who acts like a woman and cares tirelessly for his son and daughter, I appreciate your hard work to make your children’s lives better

A mother who lost her dearest one, No one can ever imagine the pain of losing someone so dear It would be wrong to say she’ll recover on day fiftyone.

It would be difficult to comfort her when her happiness has been cut But all the pain she feels only shows That she will always be a loving mother, no matter what

A person who works abroad, Willingly serves others without complaints and flaws

Hopes the time is near to be with their families at dawn

Real-life superheroes who deserve our applause

They come in different shapes and forms, But only have love to give with all their hearts The kind of love that gives you warmth, The kind that transforms, The love that calms a thunderstorm

It is not easy raising a whole family, Waking up so early to feed the bunch, And sleeping so late to make everything for tomorrow ready

Repeating the whole process time and time again, I am in awe of your resilience and ability to take on so much

They, who give their all, Real sacrifices they make every day, A person who might not be fair and tall, “That is my mother!”, I proudly say
