Light of Our Home (7/9/2013)

On this auspicious day dear…

I fondly acknowledge- fondly recollect

The many things that have made you the light of our home

Sweet & simple, not enamoured

by gold or clothes – not impressed

by the glitz & glamour

Very practical and grounded, is the light of our home!

Always devoted to the cause of children- mother first

All else afterwards….  Even today, at 4 in the morning

You are their alarm –to shop for things, you are their guide

They know that for anything & everything you will be there

Yes, Solid as a rock is the light of our home!

It is this quality that helped weather

 Difficulties of transfers – of running the family

Single handed……

Handling other challenges, taking initiatives

All for the well being of our home

By who else, but the light of our home!

A good teacher revered by students

Wonderful cook – kind hearted

 Towards People, animals & birds

Lover of fauna & flora

Is the light of our home!
