Love ya MOM.....!!!!

Mums are the most understanding people you'll find on this planet. They seem to have a sixth sense that gives them an insight into our minds. I very honestly feel that the proverbial "umbilical cord" is never ever severed on their side, even if we become oblivious to it. It can never be. So, I dedicate this post to the woman who is the source of all my strength-my MOM. You are my first love MOM!! I love you more than any other thing or anyone else in this world and will be loving you all my life. I am whatever I am because of you!

When tears are frozen in my lonely eyes,
You may not know why, but you know there are-
Feelings buried deep inside;
My dreams, daydreams and nightmares.
When I go numb and close my eyes
To reality,
You're always there-
When all those spineless "pillars of support"
Themselves turn fragile
showing helplessness in standing by my side,
You are the only one who remains firm
And tells me - "Go on child!
Your trust is priceless.
Don't place it with those
Who leave you
Alone and helpless."

When I've shed tears
You were the only one who cried.
When I had fears,
You taught me to take things in my stride
And move on.
I moved ahead.
Made "friends".
Had good times.
And soon I realised
That friends can be of help
only in good times.
They cannot read my mind-
And say it makes them weak.
They know not how I've cried
hiding my sobs in the most ubiquitous things.

You taught me -
To depend on things that truly last;
To hold on to my dreams even in the worst of times;
To listen to my conscience when the world crashes down;
That the values that diligence teaches is priceless in that it makes me stronger than most in many ways.
You made me realize
The importance of free thoughts-
And that only an unfettered mind
Can fly high above the clouds
And yet with feet firmly on ground.
I love you Mom!
