Mummy Amma my mumma

Mummy Amma my mumma

A Poem by Aarti Sriram

Mummy Amma my mumma



Whenever mother calls I love the zeal

I talk, report, describe to her a big deal

Even if Mumma is online, not beside

I feel understood and grin satisfied

 

Mummy talks of  pains I cry longing

About folks, friends about my sibling

The old neighbourhood drink and dine

Bed time stories she had told and I imagine

 

Once mommy-girl era to connect but often  fight

Cooking and life skills, prudent and poised at sight

Learnt the above also first lessons in conflict management

Now mature I can win over any abuse  entanglement

 

She taught me to love to discern

To  nurture, not be selfish or forlorn

Then came my hubby and  his joint family

Ma felt accomplished when  in-laws praised me

 

Blessed life with children, hubby n I enjoy our silver jubilee

Pay it  forward even if new hurdles in life seemingly

Think and thank them every day, as I learn to embrace

Special mom also mom-in law lent me their feminine grace
