If I were a Mother ..

A Poem by Pratima Nayak

If I were a Mother...
I'd be like you
An ordinary yet extraordinary
Unique in my own ways
Teach them with whatever I can
Guide them all through the way
I'd protect them from harm
And show them the path
I'd instill in them Compassion over Competition
I'd teach them ' HOW TO THINK rather 'WHAT TO THINK
Be a friend that they share every other thing
Create a sense of joy in every little thing
Plant a kiss every single night
Hug them tight to increase their Dopamine
Fill in them an attitude of Gratitude.
If I were a Mother , i 'd be just like you...
