17The one who loves me unconditionally
And tries to keep me secure
The ups and downs she endures
For the sole reason of making me live merrily
The lady who is ever ready to give a lift
It doesn’t matter if her life takes a twist
She hardly spares time to rest
To make a shift in my life
The woman who sacrifices all her wishes
To make my future bright
And face challenges of all heights
Just to ensure that I am alright without any hitches
And yes, she’s none other than my beloved MOM
