Mother's teardrop

Do as much as you can for you parents. Because when you called them one time they said 'yes' several times.

Your mother carried you in her womb for 9 years
Black or white? she didn't even think as she had no fears
Without seeing you she fell in love with you
She gathered things before your birth, doesn't matter if it is old or new
This made me realize love still exists and love is blind
She dreamed of you and happiness she could only find
The happiness increased when you met the world and stepped in
But then you started committing all those sin

Your teenage crawled in and set a frown on her face
She kept hope and prayed to get rid of those unlucky days
She recalled how you grabbed her fingure to take your first step
You hugged her tight even when you were taking a nap
Without complaining, you drank up your milk
You kept touching her dress because you felt it was as smooth as silk
You danced in your pajamas's getting ready for school
Recall that, today how many times did you call her fool?

Headphones in your ears and you ignore her pain
You think about your heart breaks and just can't enjoy the rain!
With one hand you fix your makeup and with the other you comb your hair
You just don't give a shi*t to whats fair and unfair
Your innocent smile was better than the lip-gloss smile
You crave to go back to your childhood but  you yourself locked it in a file

Author's Note

Only a daughter who is bereaved and looses her parents love knows its value. Everyone go to your mom ans say "Love you mom not because you are my mom but because you taught me to stand and make place in the darkness"

emotion filled... couples with memories and hope for the future of others... it should say 9 months instead of nine years though... good job

It's nice and very touching Scarlet. But as mentioned in many reviews below, kindly make the change in the first line. It flows wonderfully and reaches deep in your heart.
thanks for sharing, it's excellent...:)

my mother did this, that is a good reminder, it is true, sometimes we take our mothers for granted but at least they loved us for 9 months and probably longer/ forever

[Fariha Tahseen Karim]

thank you so much

You crave to go back to your childhood but you yourself locked it in a file

I am impressed by locking the childhood in a file, to look at this in a romanticized way that is a brave and neat image ..trying to deal with one's literal age as they feel. To take a look and admire the various stages of life discovering, observing what is it that makes that particular decade golden or valuable as silver or precious metals or anything of value to the person, it can be the brush or the headphones or the rain, when we lack too much we feel such pain

[Fariha Tahseen Karim]

Yes it is too easily forgotten what a mother does for a child, then you grow up only thinking of yourself. Thanks for reminding me of all that my parents have provided and their support :)
