THE COLOURS OF A MOTHER'S LOVE


Mothers begin their journey decked in white
As a green bride on a Sunday morn
Walking down the aisle
Beside our fathers, so cheerful and bright

By Monday dawn the gown is gone
Replaced by brown overalls and aprons
With innocence forever lost
Facing marriage life and its real cost

Tuesday comes on mothers suddenly
In the labor ward bawling and bleeding badly
Pushing out cute babies painfully
Yet they will repeat the entire process gladly

By Wednesday, a baby lies in their arms resting fondly,
Which they  are constantly cherishing, feeding and nursing
Juggling all these with house chores pressing happily
Indeed mothers are God's blessing

Thursday when they take us to school
So we can grow well and become cool
We really cannot figure out what to do
And so cry as they leave because of school rules



But by Friday when we stand tall
Some forget all of their mother's labour and toil
And despise their midnight tears
Though they waited for our glory many years

Saturday might mean rest for you
Since you are left with nothing much to do
But what mothers do, you have no clue
The golden dress you wear to impress
On Sunday morn for pulpit address
They do first check, wash and press
But inspite of all this, some care for their mothers less

So if you meet Mother's day on a Sunday morn
Though your mother might be
Brown, dirty,gray and withdrawn
Treat her like it's her birthday
Give her love and wish her happy mother's day
For whatever she is now
It is because she been shedding her colors of love for you
