Mama.. I love you more!!


Hugs and kisses
A million love yous
Enough of those I can’t have ever
Nothing but innocence it is, so pure
I cherish these moments
As my life’s most precious
But the depth of this touch,
or of these smiles, is just as much
As it used to be an era ago
As though..
It’s funny but so true
Is this Deja vu?
An illusion,
Or perception?
Way before I was myself a mother..
This love.. Oh this feeling’s so familiar
Ages ago, when I was so little
I experienced this love, unconditional
In my mother’s eyes,
Those kisses, those hugs
A million love yous
Enough of those I couldn’t have ever
Nothing but innocence it is, so pure..
Just between a mother and child
Is that bond
So natural,
Eternal..
“I love you Mama”, now they tell me over and over..
“My darlings, I still love you more”,
I too respond,
just as my Mama would
And that’s the truth that remains unchanged
Until the end of this life and beyond..
The bond
Between the mother and her child
I’ve learnt
Life’s one fact
That the one who’ll be your best friend forever
Is none other than your mother,
But I’ve also learnt life’s truth, another..
Here’s to my Mama, and my babies, “I’ll love you more, always and forever”
