For the sake of love
My mother took my
Cruel words and my commands
As curd and honey.
But now I feel
How it would have hurt
Her soft mind and
Her lovable heart
I’m lonely and separated
From her, but I
Understand her capability
Hardwork and passion.
Ma, sorry for the
Cruel words and commands
Please forgive me
I am pleading with you
Unless you forgive me
I cannot expect anything
From you other than
Your love and kindness.
