Oh Mother!

Oh, mother the love you shower 
Has the tenderness of a flower 
The joy, when the life tries to devour 
You stand with us like a tower 
And bestow us the mental power 
To tide over the maladies to ashore  
When the life is an abyss 
You are such a bliss 
For the caressing hand that you lend 
That we ultimately depend 
Oh mother! You are our best friend 
And most definitely the Godsend!
