Benevolent Shade

Your shade, so soothing, Was our abode for ages. Under you, we grew, Laughed, cried and enjoyed. You saw us as toddlers, Running around you, Singing Ring-around-the- roses. As we grew, Your shade grew too And we basked under it, During lunch and PE. Your...

Maa…

More than the world they mean, Affectionate is she towards them. Amazing courage she has When she embraces motherhood.   Considered coy and shy, A mother isn't one though. As she brings out a life, Almost losing hers…   Her blood and flesh, Lies in...

Muffled Voice
