Poetry: On mothers

Where has God kept it?
Where did the creator hide it?
Key of love between mother and child
Who can find it?

She carried me inside for nine months
Strapped me on her back for three years
When I could not eat, mother could not eat
When I could not sleep mother could not either

My first sight, my first tooth
My first word, my first step
My first friend, my first love
My first teacher, my adviser

Mother you are a wonder
Any child who speaks ill of mothers
May his eyes be plucked by raven
His days will be cut short

Jewel of inestimable value
Purified by fire of suffering
I thank God who gave you me
As a heritage of the Lord to you

Sweet mother
If I forget you let my hairs fall off
Days of hunger, days of thirst
Mother you are a deity, you're God's gift
