My Amma!


What would we do without our ammas??????



My mother,as far as I remember,was always on her toes,

She was the perfect hostess,a ready listener to all our woes.


While I struggle every day to meet the demands of a daughter lone,

She handled us siblings five,cleaned,cooked and attended the phone.


Even today when Shreya is all praise for the so-called 'yummy' food I cook,

I long and crave for my mom's cooking which was beyond any recipe book.


My mom, a simple un-assuming lady,showed her iron will and strength,

When dear dad was diagnosed with cancer,she supported him and did not her 

despair vent.



Her social life was limited , duty to family was her call,

She and my dad together taught us to bear lifes' fall.


What can I give my mother who gave me roots and wings,

Even the most expensive gift is nothing compared to what a mother gives!
