MOTHERS ARE ALWAYS THUS

 


MOTHERS ARE ALWAYS THUS

-         K. V. Dominic (India)

 

Reminding me of daughter's birthday

My wife stated:

"Mothers are always thus."

 

When son is a little late to come back home

Tension mounds in mother's bosom

Mothers are always thus

 

When daughter's marriage is delayed

Mother loses her peace of mind

Mothers are always thus

 

When meal is insufficient

She sacrifices hers and serves to others

Mothers are always thus

 

When child is sick and bedridden

Mother can't rest or sleep

Mothers are always thus
