Dear God,

As I grew from strength to strength,

Among the swaying daffodils;

My shining eyes, my smiling lips,

Sent up a prayer of thankfulness.

I may not have prayed often,

I may not have prayed enough;

But whenever I prayed, I’d ask of you-

For just one thing, again and again.

“God give me a heart like my mother has,

So I too can love unconditionally;

Grant me the courage that is her forte,

Her  strength and wisdom too hopefully.

God, Give me the radiance of her smile,

Her touch that makes problems disappear magically.

The spring in her step, the youthfulness,

Her generous soul and loving words,

That soothes the lives she touches miraculously.

And Someday,

If I manage to become-

 Half the mom she has been to me-

I’ll know You were there that day,

And  heard my words, and listened to what I asked of You so hopefully!

Happy Mother's Day, Ma:-) In anticipation of 13th May 2012. And for every day of my life. 

Love you.
