Nurturers!

We all know that parents play a vital role in our lives. Be it the mother who gave us birth, be it our environment that nurtures us like a mother or be it a person who supports our mother and family in our right upbringing. We cannot forget our responsibilities towards each of them. My poem recites their hard work and selfless activities and also that we should at least value them. I can understand my parents much more after being a parent myself. Motherhood and fatherhood are not just loving your children but also equally taking care of the family members. When I cannot handle my son’s mischief and when he does not eat properly then I remember my parents’ hard work and patience in bringing me up.


World's Mother

Mother is always world for a child or man, 
Mother treats us as a part of her body and soul; 
Mother scolds us at times,
Even beat us sometimes, 
She does all this to guide us, 
from the way to foul; 
She serves us without expecting to serve her; 
She does her duty, 
No matter if we don't remember; 
She is the wisest and sweetest friend anyone can have; 
She is only the one who is brave; 
Shouldn’t we respect her love for us that she hides? 
We should serve her, 
Do all the duties towards her,
At times be her friend too, 
As she is the world for us. 
Once just read what's written in her eyes, 
You’ll get the answer, 
"My child you are the world for me".


Fatherhood 


Papa! Dad! Father! 
Are names of you! 
You give us shelter 

You give us vesture 
You are the bread-bringer 
You keep us in order 
Your presence bring luster
 Papa! Dad! Father! 

Are names of you!
Your affection is invisible 

Yet! It’s contagious 
Your fear in us
 Keep us from being atrocious 
Your arms are wide and spacious 
Us all can fit in 
Papa! Dad! Father! 

Are names of you! 
You are our pride

You are always on our side 
You are modern enough 
No matters to hide
Papa! Dad! Father!

Are names of you!
You played with us 

Today, you play with our children 
You nurtured us
We follow you like a train 
You observe us 
In happiness and pain
Papa! Dad! Father! 

Are names for you!
