Amma

Emerged into the world
A life
Delivered through pain

Suffering the excruciating
Screaming
To offset the pain

Months of rearing
Feeding off herself
Her every bit of grain

Fretting and worrying
Unnoticed at time
Many times, in vain

Letting go her needs
For everyone else
Without a strain

Ever willing to give
To sacrifice
She has nothing to gain

Every wish she fulfils
Irrespective
Justified or mundane

She waits patiently
For them to walk back
Through the forlorn lane

She spent her life
To nurture this life
She delivered through pain
