To My Beloved Mother

Shristee Gautam 

A word with thousands of meanings, deep and true,
In every breath, I carry thoughts of you.

Your loving hands have shaped my way,
Helping me through each passing day.

With endless patience, you’ve watched me grow,
In your presence, love’s true light does show.

Each sacrifice you made, so quietly done,
Your heart’s warmth, like the rising sun.

You’ve been my anchor, my guiding star,
No matter how near, no matter how far.

Through every joy, every tear I’ve shed,
It’s your voice that lingers in my head.

In your embrace, I’ve found my home,
No need to wander, no need to roam.

For in your love, I find my peace,
A bond so strong, no time can cease.

So here’s to you, my dearest guide,
With endless love, forever by your side.
