Then I began schooling
Primary, then to secondary,
She was still there.
Where is Dad? You will query,
He, as always appears little in the pix,
Yet we lived together!!!
Jewelleries and properties of hers
She sold, that I may be educated.
Oh! She went through hell!!!
Then an Undergraduate I became.
Through and with nobody but...
Turbulent days on campus,
She was there.
Days of writing papers in hunger
She kept the support.
Weeks of trekking kilometres to school
She encouraged.
"Keep it on son,
Your younger ones are waiting
You can't afford to fail." She said.
Months of sickness and fear
She prayed fervently.
Then on a fine sunny day,
The then-stuttering-bow-legged boy
Became a graduate!!!
Another chapter of life's episode
Opened to him!
The mother was proud!
He was ecstatic!
The father was told,
He was the most joyously proud!
The young ones were inspired
They aimed to be like him!!!
