Mother's Day

When I was young, 
We never celebrated 
Mother's day
Never did we purchase 
Any rose 
For a very special day
All days were the same, 
We cared, 
Mom cared, 
But never was the affection 
Physically expressed
Love meant obeying 
All request,
Following the house rules and
Passing all tests

'Listen, never go ashtray,
 don't bring family name
 to disgrace"

Mom worried 
if we stay out late

"Can you come home, please,
 before eight?"

We saw dark circle under Mom's eyes
We knew she hadn't slept all night

When Mom smiled
Our world was bright
Every happy day was
Mother's day!!!
