No you were not our mom; but your role was just as strong.
You wiped our tears from the edges of your nine-yard saree;
You protected us from many harm;
You fed us our favorite foods;
You were our go-to bank at month-end when we were low on pocket-money.
No you were not our mom; but your heart was just as Big.
You hid those candies from all our cousins and friends just so we get to keep them all :-)
You secretly gave the three of us more goodies than anyone else;
And no one dare take away any of our possessions!
No you were not our mom; but your over-protectiveness was just as evident.
You cared for every soul that came to our home; from the postman and the mechanic to every single guest, extended family and our friends;
You fed them all; you sounded them off too!
No you were none of their moms; yet such a powerful influence!
We are lucky and blessed to have YOUR kind of love; You showed us what it means to care and to serve; and what it means to do so unconditionally;
No we were not your kids and still you treated us more than your own;
No you were not our mom; and you showed us what it takes to be MORE than one!
