An Ode to Merciful Mother

Mother, Mother with lots of treasure,

Comes to me with lots of pleasure;

She gives me all her love and leisure,

Making my life full of laughter;

Takes away all my pains and dolorous,

Giving me all her own happiness;

Mother, Mother you are the super deity,

You are been sent by that only almighty;

How can you bear all this superiority?

I wonder and think out of curiosity;

You are the symbol of sympathy,

Blessed with the gift of empathy;

Mother, Mother you epitomize the creator,

How can anyone weather without your prayer?
