My Love is As Sure As the Rising Sun

My love is As Sure As the Rising Sun

My love manifests in myriad forms transcending

The borders of life and death; I bring

you all in this

World as my progenies with lots of care

And love abounding;

I hold an eternal magic wand in my

Hands-I am your mother!

I pick slender twigs and the dry grass,

To make you comfortable in your

Temporary sojourn; I feed you by fetching

Seeds and little dry pods; I protect you

From the big birds and the reptiles roaming

Around in search of easy prey; I always

Think about my darling tiny- tots who

Are unaware of the worldly ways;

I do all this and more knowing that a

Day will come when you will grow,

And fly on your own, in the air for destinations

Unknown; my magic wand of love and

Affection will not move in any direction;

You will never come to me again, and

Will forget my sacrifices and, the abundant

Labour which I put up to ensure,

Your survival on this wretched earth;

But my love will never wane and it

Will be as sure as the rising sun!
