You have not only given me birth
You have not only suckled my every mirth
You have not only brought me up
You have not only fed me clothed me
You have not only taken care of my education
You have not only taken care of my day to day needs
You have not only taken care of my room
My scooter car my bathroom
You have not only taken care of my travels
And relentlessly prayed
Till I returned every day

But you have suffered my tantrums
My horrendous temper
My bad temper
My crabbiness
My grumpiness
My peevishness
With patience of the earth

Showered blessing like the sky
Going deep into my life
Like the ocean
To pluck out
All miseries from my strife

You have prayed for my desires and vagaries
And dreams
You have attended to all my sorrows
And have celebrate my slightest joy and happiness
Like a festival

Yet Ma
You have given me creeps
You have desired to die much before me
To be carried on my shoulders
And this is the only sleepless
