Mother

You were a mountain child , as pure as ganges coming from mountains

You had  many obstacles in life as a river faces in its way

You had not expected anything in return as the river does not

Your cool demeanour was like water of ganges

giving comfort to each and everyone who cam in your contact

you had a hard life as a river has, getting hurt on its way to its ultimate source

the great ocean. I always was in awe and inspire and tried to emulate

but neither had your smile, calmness and selfless nature.

neither had the power to ram through roughshod of life and make my way through vagaries of life

want to say sorry that I could not become like you
