For My Beloved Mum This Mothers' Day

There’s one and then some,

This is for my MUM,

There’s no simple term,

To express her magical charm,

Mum. Oh my beautiful mum,

Prayers for you are all I can hum.


There’s home and a HOME,

You’ve weathered many a storm,

Kept this daughter safe and warm,

Mum. My mum is far from the norm,

She wasn’t a queen at prom,

But is a giant diamond form.


I can’t count the sleepless nights,

Or how I soiled my whites,

The wrongs you changed to rights,

Mum opened my eyes to magical sights,

Fed this goldfish on delights,

It’s for her I reach all heights.


I look forward to motherhood,

She wants to bless my brood,

Mum, I share you with this neighborhood,

Though I may be misunderstood,

You taught me to do good,

That I gained not, by being rude.


I snatched your youth, but you don’t call that loss,

You watched me bloom from a seed into a rose,

In adulthood you’ve held me close,

You’ve kissed my forehead and tip of nose,

Remarked that I stole your fingers and toes,

I’ve loved the way your eyes glows.


Her name means independence,

I shine in her presence,

Mum, Mama, Ummi, Ma, goes each sentence,

Free soul, gentle heart, honest essence,

You aided my existence,

Mama, I admire your intelligence,


How could I ever repay,

I couldn’t be me without you today,

I LOVE YOU Mum is so easy to say,

You loved me more and named me Sun-ray,

Mum what I do best is pray,

May paradise be your pay.


Bless me Mum,

Let my life be a complete sum,

We love you mum,

For you I roll the drum,

Time and time again allow me to come,

My MUM, my beautiful mum.
