What Can You Learn From a Mother?

Poem sent by Komudi Behani, Class VI B


Someone asked one day, “What
Can you learn from a mother?”
And someone replied, “You can learn
Every virtue from her, my brother.”

You can learn from her patience, as she
Keeps her child for nine months in her womb,
Happiness fills her heart,
And makes it a most sacred tomb.

You can learn from her, the art of
Loving without limits, or boundary,
Which makes us wonder does she have
An everlasting supply of love foundry.

You can learn from her
The envious quality of being selfless,
As she devotes her whole time on her child
And never expects in return, more or less.

You can learn from her, to fill your
Souls with evergreen compassion,
While she watches her child eat, or
Sleep, with eyes full of love and passion.

You can learn the whole new meaning from her
Of the saying, “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”,
As she sees beauty and wonder, in every
Child created, and existing in god’s folder.

You can learn the act of living,
For some other human being.
As she gives all her things to her child,
In the hope that he will live like a king.

You can learn from her the art o
f supporting,
Her baby in every walk of life,
Balancing her support so that, 

She is a wonderful mother, and a loving wife.

You can learn from her the knack of dying,
To protect her precious baby,
Because, if she has to lay her life
She’ll die, not even saying ‘maybe’.

And finally you can learn from her,
Bravery, valour and courage,
When she lets her child go
When he/she comes of age.

And thus you can learn from her
Every possible virtue, my brother,
Because god is present everywhere
And anywhere in the form of mother.
