Mother’s Debt

Mother’s Debt

My mother and father are old

Mother can not see and father

Yet strong and bold.

I work as an officer in Government

Got a car and a bunglow

Furniture and two all time servant.

My wife is very beautiful and mod

She belongs to an IPS family

Little cares anybody even my dad.

I have two children, one girl another boy

They think themselves as rich and affluent

Everything to them like a toy.

What culture my parents taught

To me in my childhood days

Regarding that they always fought.

My mistress is rich in look and wealth

Having big house, jewelry and western education

Consider that permanent is their health.

But alas! How foolish you are

Take care to your in laws and old ones

Try to bear the pain give enough care.

We forget or nobody reminds us

Just from the day of pregnancy

Mothers can travel by bus.

They can not lift weight even

Move water full of buckets

Sometimes may walk gently in garden.

With the advancement of delivery time

Most of the time spent lying on the bed

Few families compel them to work and do crime.

A baby in the womb sprawls in the belly of mother

She bears all with pleasure

Other troubles a baby gives, she little bother.

Before delivery mother feels unbearable pain

Immediately she is taken to a hospital

Bearing intolerable pangs of birth, lastly she gain.

Her beautiful belly is full of scratch with

Wounds and marks of stitch she carry

In giving birth to you, the today’s officer.

It takes nearly six months to recover the wounds

She fails to get out of bed and do any hard work

Eat normal food, remains with many restrictions.

Lest you fall ill, she takes light meal

Wears clean cloth and lie on clean bed

A sense of ownership and cleanliness always feel.

Sometimes she can not move, but feeds you milk

You used to cry and discharge stool and urine

In every one or half an  hour.

She attends you every time in happiness and mirth

Washes your clothes of urine and stool

A lot more pains she bears with your birth.

Mother can not sleep at day time nor at night

You cry, whenever she sits for taking food

Many times you did leave your urine and bite.

She smilingly changes your clothes and then sit again

When you cry in pain or hunger, you then can’t speak

Mother becomes restless, and bound your father in chain.

Calls the doctor and sends your father to medical shop

Take every care to get the best treatment

Your betterment and cure becomes her only hope.

Mother smiles when you smile and laugh

She gets nervous when you cry and feel uneasy

It is mother who then becomes tough.

She is always anxious to see your health good

Gets measurement and does your weight

Buys new and beautiful clothes in mood.

When you are a little boy she takes every

care to keep you safe from dangers

when people tell you good she becomes merry.

She teaches you first lesson in life

Which you encash later at every  step

In case of diplomacy or rife.

She helps you to walk and speak

You follow your mother in toto

Never leave the border of your mom’s saree.

It is you who first took  admission in the school

Holding your parents fingers

Think of those days sitting in cool.
