When you were born; you were nothing
When you were born; you were nothing
After cleaning; Nurse make touchable thing
Then Mom gave you warmth of her blessing
Keep growing in mom's arms; was enjoying
After 6 months; taught me technique of sitting
When she saw I'm striving; taught me crawling
After that she was teaching me; art of walking
Getting teeth was hard time; was keep crying
She worried when passing loose motions & stop eating
Whenever there is fever; was worried; keep me nursing
A lengthy process; because of that my health was falling
Bravo; being brave; keep me away from such happening
Now I am 4; time is; to go to school; but I was crying
Want to see me a big man; that's why she's not crying
Slowly; got adjusted; grade after grade; I was climbing
Now completing Elementary School for High schooling
I'm in high school; she is worried of grades; I was trying
High School study she was very strict; kept me guiding
In high school exams; I got all ‘As' still she was crying
Put me in undergraduate school; my best I was trying
I'm grown up; still she is struggling to make me something
When I left my parent for my girl friend; my Mom was crying
Hope; we don't do such thing; is the best; for that I am vying
Otherwise; will be lamenting on fate of; I am not frightening!
