To Maa

 

Her daughter's WhatsApp messages on her special day are beyond her reach.

Her keypad phone doesn't allow her to see her daughter's status on her.

Her baby girl seeks for her tiny words in the time of despair instead of the motivational videos and quotes in phone.

She is the ordinary lady who uses vaseline on her lips rather than buying branded lipstick to send the saved money for her daughter to have one more good book.

She is the labourer one who toils for the hours to send her daughter to University rather than imposing the bondage of marriage.

 She is the selfless one who only stands for her daughter to hold her empty hand with hopefull silence.

    

    Maa my words fail. I know these words will always remain the same beyond your reach.A Happy Mother's Day.

                       Your beloved

                            Moina.
