My mom, My warrior
An obedient child who never said no In a quiet bubble,
watching the world go Lake View ice creams and the birthday store
A shy little heart, who could ask for more?
But the childhood dreams were traded too soon Married in the
morning of her life's afternoon.
The shadows grew long in a house of stone But you found a courage
you’ d never known With two little girls, just eight and six A
broken life you were determined to fix You walked through the fire,
you closed the door And the shy quiet girl...
she was no more.
Then arose a warrior, a yodha so brave From the quiet silence,
a path you gave Raising us differently, against the tide With
nothing but love and a mother's pride Oh, meri माँ, you’ re the
strength in my soul You made us whole, you made us whole.
You lived so frugally, keeping costs low So we could have the
world and watch it grow Newest phones and toys, every wish I’ d
make You’ d give it all up for our happiness’ sake You followed
the customs, the old ancient ways But let me find my own light
through the haze.
Now my life’ s taken a turn to the dark And I’ m struggling to
find even a spark You don’ t understand every ghost that I fight
But you’ re standing right there, holding the light No rush for a
job, no rush to be wed " Just focus on healing," is all that you
said Patient and steady, like when I was small You’ re teaching me
walking, after the fall.
Because you are the warrior, the Yodha so brave From the quiet
silence, a path you gave Raising us differently, against the tide
With nothing but love and a mother's pride Oh, Meri माँ, you’ re
the strength in my soul You made us whole, you made us whole.
We still argue and fight over the little things But I know the
peace that your presence brings I owe you my life, my hero, my
heart I’ ll give you the luxury you lacked from the start That
child-like smile, that innocence stays I’ ll love you forever, for
all of my days.
