MILADY

 

The tiny me had almost thought 

That your real name was ‘Mom’,

Did you like the woman you had become

The day when I was born?

I once asked you, “why should you be

so selfless all the time?"

Politely you said, "it's cause love is worth a lot

more than a nickel and dime."

I believe you are no artist, yet you paint my world

With smile and care.

Well! you are no sculptor either, yet you build a hope

In dull and despair.

People say you have raised me a you,

Like daughter, like mom.

I think you raised me into this woman,

The one you left behind the day that I was born.

~ This one's for my superwoman, just for her landmark birthday!
