for mom

I have taken you for granted -

I know -

especially when you’re well,

going about your usual business,

working selflessly hard.

And, when you fall sick,

lying in bed,

unable to move much,

I realize

how much you mean

to me -

to all of us.

How fragile you’ve become!

it’s time

to pamper you

with all our love and care.

How fortunate!

You are with me

since Mother’s Day.

I pray for you,

for strength,

for vitality,

for all that makes you special

as my mom

and a human being.

You are Love;

You are Compassion;

none other like you.

I love you,

get well soon.
