Mother's Smile

A mother’s smile says “I love you,
Even in the days when your surname sounds like depression
Listen; pay rapt attention
When you try to walk on water
And the oceans turn their back on you,
My love will hold your pieces from falling”

A mother’s smile says “I am here for you,
Even when daylight becomes your enemy
And darkness makes jest of you
Just stare at your palms
And you’ll find my love swimming on those lines that lead you back to me”

A mother’s smile says “I won’t forsake you,
For 9months in my womb I have wooed you
I have learnt the art of keeping in touch for even f you are far away from my end
The bond that we share will still send me your distress signal”.
